Brick Senior Shuttle Offers Traders Cove Concert Trips

BRICK, NJ — Brick Township's Senior Shuttle will provide rides for senior citizens to the township's Traders Cove Concert Series, starting with the Wednesday, Aug. 7 concert.

The shuttle, for Brick residents age 60 or older who lack their own transportation, will provide door-to-door rides to and from Traders Cove. Seating is very limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The concert schedule is as follows:

• Wednesday, Aug. 7 – Basso Brothers (rain date Aug. 8)
• Wednesday, Aug. 14 – Tim McLoone & The Shirleys (rain date Aug. 15)
• Wednesday, Aug. 21 – Motor City Revue (rain date Aug. 22)
• Wednesday, Aug. 28 – DJ Chris Anthony & Peter Carter’s Tribute to the King of Pop (rain date Aug. 29)

Concerts are free to attend and begin at 7 p.m. Seniors attending the concerts by bus will be provided chairs in a designated location. Any eligible resident wishing to schedule a ride to the Traders Cove Concert Series should call Senior Services at 732-920-8686.

The township's Senior Shuttle began operating in June, providing transportation to the Senior Center, local shopping areas and points of interest.

The township has two wheelchair-accessible buses for the program. One was acquired through a Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Grant administered by NJ Transit. The second bus was purchased by the township for $83,986 through funds included in the 2015 and 2018 capital budgets.
