PATRICK SPACE FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Effective immediately, the Trusted Traveler program has been suspended at Patrick SFB and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, until further notice.
The program allowed valid cardholders with escort authority to vouch for people riding in the same vehicle with them without having to obtain pre-clearance approvals. For installation visitors, the program's suspension means that drivers with certain types of DoD ID cards are no longer able to vouch for all passengers in their vehicle.
-Everyone 16 years of age or older will need to show a DoD or military ID card or obtain a visitor’s pass.
-Members in housing who currently have family members visiting will be required to get visitor passes and all new visitors will require passes.
-Golfers with an annual base pass can no longer bring or sponsor additional visitors.
-Food delivery drivers without base access will not be authorized base access. All food deliveries will be picked up at the East Gate.
-Event Bright tickets for launches will be terminated.
-Disabled veterans who have a CCSFS and/or PSFB registered Veteran Health Identification Card will be permitted access to the installation.
-Employees with a Defense Biometric Identification Data System registered badge for CCSFS and/or PSFB will be permitted access to the installation.
This U.S. Northern Command directive to suspend this program was taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and security of our personnel, residents, and visitors. Visitors accessing the base are advised to be prepared for additional screening protocols. There are currently no known threats to the installations.
For visitor pass information, please visit the PSFB Visitor Control Center website or call the Visitor Control Center.
