Any veteran utilizing the vans will not be eligible for reimbursement through the VA travel reimbursement program. Any passenger who violates any of the regulations will be denied travel.
Comments: The DAV Transportation Network needs volunteer drivers at each location. If you would like to volunteer please contact the HSC Office closest to you. Volunteer drivers do not receive payments for the services they provide.
How you can help: In 2006 the Department of Oklahoma helped more than 40,000 veterans reach their medical appointments and dispersed more than $180,000 for services that directly benefited disabled veterans.
