Local veterans will now have free shuttle service between the Beaver County VA Clinic in Rochester and the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center on University Drive in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. The announcement was made by Congressman Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania’s 17th District, who serves as a vice ranking member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.

The vans (which are ADA-accessible) will depart the Beaver County VA Clinic located at 300 Brighton Ave in Rochester at 7:30am to arrive in time for 9:00am appointments at the Oakland campus. The van will leave University Drive at 2:00pm to return to Beaver County at approximately 3:30pm. There will be a designated space for veterans to wait for their appointments throughout the morning.

Veterans who want to use the shuttle should therefore schedule appointments between 9:00am-1:00pm on Tuesdays beginning February 6, 2024.
