Trusted travelers are again welcome at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The base said Monday it has reinstated the military’s “trusted traveler program” after it was suspended Jan. 3, following the New Year’s Day events that left some 14 people dead in New Orleans and Las Vegas.

This change follows U.S. Northern Command’s resumption of the program, the base said in a statement Monday.

The program allows uniformed service members, their dependents older than 16, Department of Defense employees, and retired service members and spouses with valid DoD identification cards to vouch for vehicle occupants when driving on base.

Acceptable forms of DoD identification include Common Access Card and Registered Real ID, the base said.
