Expands VA grant program to provide innovative transportation options for veterans in rural areas.
The Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' grant program to offer innovative transportation solutions for veterans in rural and highly rural areas. The bill defines "rural" and "highly rural" based on the Rural-Urban Commuting Areas coding system. It increases the maximum grant amount to $80,000 if a vehicle purchase is required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The act also expands the types of organizations eligible for grants to include county veterans service organizations and tribal organizations.
