WRIGHT- PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio – Effective immediately, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has suspended the Trusted Traveler Program to ensure the safety and security of personnel, visitors, and facilities. This decision comes as a precautionary measure following recent events in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
Under the updated procedures, all vehicle occupants must present a valid DoD identification (e.g., Common Access Card, Registered Real ID, VA Benefits Card, Visitor’s Pass, Etc.) at the gate. Those without valid identification will need to visit the 88th Security Forces Pass and Registration Office to be vetted and issued a base visitor’s pass.
To minimize potential delays at the gates, all occupants are encouraged to have their identification cards or passes ready for inspection.
The Pass and Registration Office is located at 4185 Logistics Avenue, Bldg. 286, in Area A. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After-hours passes may be obtained at the gate.
The Trusted Traveler Program allowed uniformed service members, their dependents (over age 16), DoD employees, and retired uniformed service members and spouses with valid DoD identification cards to vouch for vehicle occupants entering the installation.
