The Monmouth County Division of Transportation's Ride in Monmouth service runs the county's veterans' medical transportation: "The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is proud to support veterans and are grateful for all they have done to keep our Country safe and strong."
Where and when, per the 2025 schedule for veterans' medical transportation: the bus runs to VA outpatient clinics at Toms River on Tuesdays, East Orange on Wednesdays and Lyons on Thursdays, with dated runs for each month of 2025 (November's Toms River run falls on an alternate day, November 3, for the county holiday closing). The Tinton Falls outpatient clinic takes walk-in appointments daily. Booking is 2 to 30 days in advance through Ride in Monmouth, (732) 431-6480; you must provide the hospital department and extension number, appointment times must be scheduled between 9:30 a.m. and the bus's 1:00 p.m. departure for home, and "there is no charge to veteran." Riders receive a call the day prior with an approximate pick-up time between 6:15 and 8:30 a.m. Service is "based strictly upon availability."
The brochure names no eligibility beyond the VA appointment - it is the veteran's ride to treatment, not a rating-gated benefit - and carries the county's veterans' recognition line alongside the schedule.
