Free transport offered to doctors, grocery 

Dutchess County on Feb. 14 announced the launch of GoGo Veterans to provide free rides to military veterans who need transportation to medical appointments or for personal errands such as grocery store trips.

The program, which begins March 1, will allow veterans to request two free rides per month within the county to medical appointments, including VA hospitals and local providers, and one free ride per month to a grocery store, pharmacy or a personal visit.

To register, call the Office of Veterans Affairs at 845-486-2060. The county also has a GoGo service for seniors and in 2024 provided nearly 2,000 rides.
