Expands VA transportation grant program to include rural veterans and tribal organizations.
The Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' transportation grant program to include veterans in highly rural areas and tribal organizations. It expands the definition of "rural" and "highly rural" to align with the Rural-Urban Commuting Areas coding system. The bill also increases the maximum grant amount to $80,000 if a vehicle purchase is required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
