Colorado Springs Military Community to Receive New TSA PreCheck® “Serve with Honor, Travel with Ease” Benefits

Local Press Release
Thursday, July 3, 2025

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – In honor of the enduring sacrifice of our nation’s military families, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is proud to announce a new partnership with Colorado Springs Airport (COS) to enhance the travel experience for members of the U.S. military community as part of a national campaign.

TSA is introducing expedited access at COS’ TSA PreCheck® lanes for active-duty service members and their families. In support of our military service members and families, including at nearby Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base and Schriever Space Force Base as well as the U.S. Air Force Academy, COS will offer front-of-the-line privileges for military families. Services are also provided to all military members and their families traveling through the state of Colorado. Additionally, on certain days when larger crowds are expected, COS may open a dedicated screening lane for members of our military community. 

“We are proud to support our military members as they travel through COS,” said TSA Federal Security Director for Colorado Douglas Cruz. “TSA COS has a strong partnership with our local armed forces community, and expanding TSA PreCheck benefits will directly assist the approximately 40,000 active-duty service members and their families stationed in the Colorado Springs area. TSA is committed to honoring the service and sacrifice of military families by ensuring their travel is convenient and stress-free.” 

TSA will also provide the following benefits to all military members and their families:

  • Gold Star families can enroll in TSA PreCheck at no cost.
  • Spouses of active-duty personnel can receive a $25 discount on the TSA PreCheck enrollment fee.
  • TSA PreCheck remains free for uniformed service members.

The TSA Cares program remains available for veterans and wounded warriors, providing personalized assistance through the screening process and ensuring a smooth and seamless screening experience.
