President of 845 Transportation-Kimberly Cogswell

The "President’s Note"A Personal 

Commitment to Every Journey


Since 2017, 845 Transportation has been more than just a business to me—it is a mission rooted in integrity and local service. That is why 845 Transportation is transitioning to Hudson Valley Legacy (HVL). As a mother of grown children and a devoted caregiver to my own mother, who is blind and disabled, I understand that transportation is never just about the destination. Whether I am coordinating a high-stakes corporate airport run or ensuring a neighbor receives local services with dignity and respect, I bring the same level of care that I provide my own family.


As a Christian and a lifelong learner, I am constantly growing as a leader to better serve the Dutchess County community. My faith is the compass for how we operate, and I strive to live out the wisdom of Proverbs 16:3: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.


"When I’m not behind the scenes at HVL, you’ll likely find me caring for my mom or enjoying time with my dog, Daisy. My goal is to ensure that every time you step into our vehicle, you feel the safety, respect, and professional excellence you deserve.

My Inspiration Behind 845 Transportation


In our early 20s, while working together in the livery industry in Westchester, Rob and I often talked about one day building something of our own—a company founded on reliability, respect, and heart.


Rob was a talented driver with a spirit that could light up a room. Though he left us far too soon in 2016, our vision remains the heartbeat of this company. We believed that every person, regardless of their path in life, deserved a safe ride and a non-judgmental environment.


Today, Rob 'rides shotgun' on every journey we take. We operate with the integrity he valued and the compassion he showed to everyone he met. 845 Transportation isn’t just a car service; it is a tribute to a brother, a father, and a friend whose legacy continues to drive us forward every single mile."
