VA To Provide Transportation Funds For Vets

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced Thursday that it is providing $400,000 in grants to improve transportation to health care facilities for veterans living in eight rural Oregon counties, including Sherman and Wheeler counties.  Under the VA’s Highly Rural Transportation Grants program, 300-thousand dollars will be provided to the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs to improve and expand transportation options for veterans living in Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Morrow, Sherman and Wheeler counties.  An estimated 2,200 veterans in those counties could benefit from the service.  The Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs will receive another 100-thousand dollars to provide similar benefits to an estimated 1,350 veterans living in Malheur and Wallowa counties.  Senator Ron Wyden applauded the announcement, saying the money will be put to good use ensuring that veterans living in these areas have access to VA health care.
