Hudson County Veterans Transportation (TRANSCEND)

"Senior Citizens over 60, persons with disabilities over 18, and veterans are all eligible to receive Transcend service." "We provide transportation to various locations primarily within Hudson County, and with limited service to Essex and Bergen Counties. Transcend is administered by the Hudson County Department of Aging and Veteran Affairs. These services are made possible through the Hudson County Board of Commissioners, the Hudson County Executive's Office, and grants received from New Jersey Transit, the NJ Veteran's Administration, the Federal Department of Transportation Administration, and Title III of the Older American's Act." Since 1986 the system has expanded, and since May 2008 it has added vehicles and drivers and a routing and scheduling program. Call the TRANSCEND Office at 201-369-4320 ext. 4107. Funding. The board's June 12, 2025 regular meeting agenda carried, as consent item *5, "Aging & Veterans Affairs - Resolution authorizing application for and acceptance of contract from the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs to provide Transportation Services for Veterans - July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 - $15,000.00," and the June 11, 2026 regular agenda carried the same grant for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 at $15,000.00 again, as consent item *2. The June 11, 2026 minutes are a transcript of proceedings; they record the motion "to approve all the items on the consent agenda" carried on the roll call, with no veteran item pulled for discussion, so the FY2027 adoption is confirmed from the minutes. The 2025 meeting's minutes are not posted (the county's 2025 minutes page carries only December meetings).
