Congressman Andy Kim secured major funding to support many projects including the Ocean Inc. Veterans EZ Ride Transportation Program in Ocean County. The new Ocean Inc. Veterans Transportation Program makes it easier for veterans to arrange for transportation services that connects them with the community and is available at no cost to the veteran.
Last week, Ocean Inc. Veterans Transportation Coordinator Carmine Czapla provided outreach at the VFW Post 6063 located at 209 Courthouse Lane in Toms River. The goal of the Ocean Inc. Veteran Transportation outreach events is to provide veterans with the information they need to understand and fully participate in the new program.
The program provides a monetary credit in an EZ Ride account that veterans use to book Uber/Lyft rides to and from medical appointments, grocery/retail shopping, military organizational social and any other community event. A spouse/caregiver is able to ride with the veteran. Participants must own a cell phone to utilize the program
If you or someone you know is a veteran and requires transportation services, contact the Ocean Inc. Veterans Transportation Coordinator, Carmine Czapla at (732) 496-3704 or via email at cczapla@oceaninc.org. During the registration process, be sure to have available a Drivers License, Military ID or Veterans VA ID and a copy of your DD214 Form.
