Bill overview
This bill amends a program within the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve transportation options for veterans living in highly rural areas. It expands the grant program to include tribal organizations and clarifies the definition of ‘rural’ and ‘highly rural’ using the Department of Agriculture’s RUCA coding system. The bill also increases the maximum grant amount, with an additional amount available for vehicles that meet accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure veterans in remote areas have better access to necessary healthcare services.
