Just in time for U.S. Veterans Day, DOT has announced that the
Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative will provide nearly $35 million for projects that will enhance access to local, affordable transportation services for military families and wounded veterans. These projects will help communities expand or create new "one-click, one-call" locations that will provide easily accessible information about local transportation options and services.
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood says that the initiative will connect veterans and their families to a wide range of reliable options, " . . . so they can get to work as well as the supermarket, their kid's day care center, medical facilities and other destinations."
