The Highly Rural Veteran Transportation Program Extension Act extends the time period during which the Department of Veterans Affairs can give grant money to veterans service organizations that provide transportation for veterans living in highly rural areas. By changing the program’s expiration date from 2020 to 2021, the bill keeps the funding authority in place for an additional year, continuing support for those veterans and the organizations that serve them.

Key Provisions

Amends the existing law (Section 307(d) of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act) to replace the year “2020” with “2021,” thereby extending the grant‑making authority for one more year.
