The Veterans Commission of Texas received a $187,300 Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health under the Veterans Transportation Program (CFDA 64.035), effective September 15, 2025 through September 14, 2026. This award funds the development and implementation of innovative transportation services designed to eliminate barriers that prevent veterans in highly rural areas of Texas from accessing VA medical centers and other VA-approved healthcare facilities.

Under this grant, the Veterans Commission of Texas delivers comprehensive transportation solutions tailored to the unique geographic challenges of rural Texas counties. Services include direct vehicle transportation, mileage reimbursement programs, mobility management coordination, and public transit partnerships. The organization operates these initiatives directly without subawards to other entities, maintaining full operational responsibility for all grant-funded activities and ensuring that eligible veterans in sparsely populated areas can reliably obtain necessary medical care and services.

This program's purpose is to provide grants to eligible recipients to assist veterans in highly rural areas through innovative transportation services to travel to VA medical centers, and to other VA and non-VA facilities to assist in providing transportation services in connection with the provision of VA medical care.
