Volunteer Transportation Network
The Volunteer Transportation Network is available to veterans who have no other means of transportation to local VA facilities. A core group of regularly scheduled volunteer drivers are available to help veterans get to their VA medical appointments.
To get transportation to a VA appointment through the Volunteer Transportation Network, you must be a veteran who can walk unassisted to and from the van. Veterans must call 3-5 business days before their scheduled VA appointment to arrange transportation:
