After-School and Summer Transportation

In April 2023, GHPN purchased a new vehicle! In the Summer of 2023 GHPN collaborated with Columbia County DSS, and Pat Zanchelli Inc., to develop a system of transportation for our local summer programs. GHPN collaborated to assist organizations such as The Hudson Youth Department, and Kite’s Nest with youth transportation. Youth involved in our local boxing program, and Columbia-Greene College Workforce also received transportation. In July GHPN also assisted in coordinating transportation for two field trips for Oakdale Summer Program with 48 students receiving transportation on the first trip and 35 on the second.  All in all over the summer GHPN’s Transportation Program was able to serve 99 total youth, averaging 55 youth per day.

In an effort to improve chronic absenteeism in the Hudson City School District, GHPN has agreed to assist the District with transportation for students on an emergency basis. GHPN agreed to partner with Coxsackie Transport in September of 2023, to assist in transporting students home from our CO-HOST out-of-school-time programs for the 2023-2024 school year. At this time, 48 youth have received transportation home from out of school time-programming, with an average daily ridership of 31 students.
