Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to Offer Free Coffee to Military Veterans on Veterans Day
Middletown, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (Commission) will offer veterans and active military servicemembers a free hot coffee at its 17 service plazas on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Service plazas with Dunkin’ locations will offer a free medium black coffee; service plazas with Starbucks locations will offer a free medium pour-over coffee to those with a military ID.
Supporting veterans is part of the Commission’s commitment to enhance customer experience and connection. In May, the Commission unveiled dedicated parking spaces for customers who have served in United States military.
In 2025, the Commission teamed up with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to connect Veterans in rural areas with information at all PA Turnpike Service Plazas about Veterans’ telehealth options, the closest VA location, and the Veterans Crisis Line — empowering Veterans in crisis or others concerned about one to access free and confidential support from caring and trained responders 24/7, 365 days a year.
Recently, the Commission’s Employee Network created the Voices of Veterans Council, to honor, support, and elevate the experiences of veteran employees and their families across the organization.
A national transportation leader, the Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) is the second largest tolling facility in the United States with the most miles.
