Fulfilling Our Promises to America's Veterans

DAV Cape May County Chapter 44 provides free, reliable, door-to-door transportation for all local veterans who need rides to their MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. Because our network is entirely volunteer-led, rides are coordinated carefully to ensure safe and efficient transport to VA healthcare 

facilities across our region. 

Destinations Covered

Our volunteer transport vans provide rides to the following regional facilities: 

• VA Medical Centers: Philadelphia VA Hospital and Wilmington VA Hospital.
• Local Outpatient Clinics: Rio Grande VA Clinic, Vineland VA Clinic, and Northfield VA Clinic.
• Other Medical Locations: Non-emergency local hospitals, outpatient services, and local doctor offices. 

How to Schedule a Ride

Van services are coordinated on a first-call basis. As soon as you receive confirmation of your medical appointment, notify our dispatch team immediately to secure your seat. 

• To Schedule a Ride: Call our transport coordinator directly at 609-675-5595. 
• Important: DO NOT call DAV Chapter 44 post to book a ride. All scheduling is handled directly by our transport coordinator.

Rider Rules & Guidelines

To ensure the safety of our volunteer drivers and all veteran passengers, riders must adhere to the following national and local VA guidelines: 

• Mobility: All passengers must be fully ambulatory and capable of boarding and exiting the transport van without physical assistance from the driver.
• Caregivers: We are glad to welcome spouses and caregivers to ride along with our veterans during transport. 
• Punctuality: Veterans must be dressed and ready to depart at their assigned pickup time. To keep all passengers on schedule, drivers cannot wait for riders who are not ready.
• Safety & Conduct: Seatbelts must be worn at all times; refusal to wear a seatbelt will result in a denial of transport. Smoking, tobacco, alcohol, food, weapons, foul language, and illegal substances are strictly prohibited.
• Non-Emergency Service Only: DAV vehicles are not emergency transport units. Drivers hold the right to deny transport to any veteran who appears too ill to travel safely in a standard passenger van.
