UCVSA Services

UCVSA Transportation Services: UCVSA provides transportation daily from Kingston to the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany for Ulster County veterans (AM appointments only). Additional feeder routes will accommodate veterans in the Ellenville and Boiceville corridors at designated pick-up points and consolidate to the Kingston van schedule. Wheelchair-bound veterans may also request special transportation to the Albany VAMC or Kingston outpatient clinic. Reservations are required for all transportation. Call or email the Transportation Coordinator for reservations.

Ulster County Veteran's Cemetery: Ulster County, in partnership with the New Paltz Rural Cemetery (NPRC), maintains a Veterans Cemetery at 81 Plains Road in New Paltz. A veteran and Ulster County resident is eligible for a burial and grave marker at no expense, upon request of next of kin. Click here for information on frequently asked questions about the Veteran Cemetery. Local funeral directors should be aware of the procedure to request a veteran plot, or you may contact the UCVSA for information.
