About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking renewal grant applications for the Highly Rural Transportation Grants (HRTG) program, which provides transportation assistance to veterans in highly rural areas. The Veterans Transportation Program aims to help veterans access VA medical facilities through innovative transportation services such as vehicle transportation, mileage reimbursement, and mobility management. Only current 2024 grantees are eligible to apply for this one-year renewal grant, with applications due by August 23, 2025. The VA will evaluate renewal applications using a competitive scoring process across three key criteria: transportation service effectiveness (55 points), cost-effectiveness (35 points), and compliance with grant agreements (15 points). Applicants must submit an interim grant summary report covering program status, performance data from October 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and grant expenditures.
The fiscal year 2025 grant opportunity has approximately $8 million authorized, with individual grants not expected to exceed $50,000 per highly rural area. The program anticipates approximately 13 grantees will renew, utilizing roughly $7 million of the total authorized funds. Successful applicants will be required to provide detailed reporting on veteran transportation services, including trip details, veterans served, distances covered, and veteran satisfaction survey results. The grant will focus on counties identified in the HRTG Eligible Counties spreadsheet, with particular emphasis on states with significant rural populations such as Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, and New Mexico. The performance period for the grant is expected to align with the fiscal year, running from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2026.
