Progressive's Keys to Progress® Program
On November 6, Progressive Insurance® will celebrate another milestone in its commitment to supporting veterans across the United States with its annual Keys to Progress® vehicle giveaway. This event marks the 13th iteration of the program, which aims to provide reliable transportation to veterans, their families, and veteran-focused organizations. In total, Progressive will donate 100 vehicles, facilitating mobility for those who have served the country.
The initiative comes ahead of Veterans Day, demonstrating Progressive's acknowledgment of the sacrifices made by these military heroes. This year, the program will host over 65 events in 47 states, delivering vehicles directly to veterans who need them most. The donations made through Keys to Progress have amassed to over 1,200 vehicles since the program's inception in 2013, reinforcing the critical role reliable transportation plays in accessing employment, medical care, and community services.
Tricia Griffith, President and CEO of Progressive, shared the mission behind this charitable effort: "Mobility creates opportunity. Keys to Progress® isn't just about donating cars; it's about helping veterans and their families regain independence and stability. It's about empowering them to move forward with confidence."

As John Murphy, Progressive's Claims President, states, "Reliable transportation can be the difference between a job opportunity gained or lost, a medical appointment kept or missed. We're proud to help veterans and their families overcome these barriers and move toward brighter futures. Honoring their service by giving back in this way is one of the most meaningful things we do."
