Ocean Ride works cooperatively with our own
Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau
. We request that veterans
call the Veterans Service Bureau directly at (732)
929-2096 to sign up for the service. When scheduling your trip, review the
schedule above and call at least two (2) weeks before the appointment for
out-of-county VA clinics.
Due to the long travel time to reach the VA clinics, emphasis is placed on
departures from centralized pick-up locations which are located conveniently
throughout the County; including the Ocean County Administration Building,
Southern Ocean County Hospital and others. Limited home pick-ups are available
on a case-by-case basis related to the mobility needs of the veteran.
Ocean Ride has also formed an effective partnership with
Vetwork,
a non-profit agency located in Forked River.
Vetwork
provides a variety of supportive services for local veterans including limited
transportation.

Vetwork
at (609) 971-7613 for more information about their services.
