S 3751 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act

This bill amends the VA's transportation grant program to better serve rural veterans. It expands eligibility to include County Veterans Service Organizations and Tribal Organizations, increases the maximum grant amount to $80,000 for recipients needing to purchase ADA-compliant vehicles, and updates the definition of "rural" to align with USDA's RUCA system. The changes directly affect rural veterans by improving access to transportation for medical care and benefit appointments through local service providers. Funding is no longer capped at fixed annual amounts, instead using "such sums as may be necessary" to support these services.
