Expands VA transportation grants to include rural and highly rural areas and tribal organizations.
The Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' transportation grant program to include rural and highly rural areas, as defined by the Rural-Urban Commuting Areas coding system. It also expands the types of recipients to include tribal organizations. The maximum grant amount is set at $60,000, with an additional $20,000 available if a vehicle purchase is required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Funding for the program is adjusted to allow for necessary sums rather than a fixed amount.
