The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through its Veterans Transportation Program (VTP), is announcing a grant opportunity. This initiative seeks applicants for grants specifically aimed at improving transportation for veterans residing in highly rural areas. The program’s core mission is to empower eligible recipients to establish and provide innovative transportation services. These services are crucial for enabling veterans to travel conveniently to VA Medical Centers for appointments and treatment. Furthermore, the grants will support broader transportation assistance directly linked to the provision of essential VA medical care, ensuring veterans in remote locations receive the care they need without transportation barriers. This grant is for ensuring accessibility to healthcare for our rural veteran community.
