MISSION

Bergen County Community Transportation is a division of the Department of Human Services.

The Division is here to provide a safe, trouble-free, scheduled transportation system for the disabled, elderly, and frail residents of Bergen County .

Service is provided in a timely, courteous and caring manner in all types of weather. Service is door-to-door when possible and is provided by drivers who are specially trained to assist elderly and persons with disabilities.

This vital service is life sustaining for clients with serious medical and health needs, a lifeline to homebound clients who are delivered nutritional meals daily, and a link to social services for clients who would otherwise be isolated and alone.

Current services include:

• routine medical visits
• meals on wheels
• community outreach/activity center
• driving people to their places of employment
• recreational activities
• shopping
• education
• post stroke

The goals of the Division of Community Transportation are to increase the number of clients served, to expand service to night hours for recreational, educational, and medical purposes and to remain a national model for community transportation services.
