Soldiers left behind...Why no Ramps in Veterans DAV Transport Vans?


Soldiers left behind...Why no Ramps in Veterans DAV Transport Vans?
The Issue
Currently, the jointly operated DAV-VA National Transportation Program offers free rides to Veterans needing transportation to Veterans Administration Medical facilities. Most of the vans are not wheelchair accessible leaving out the most (physically) disabled Veterans who use wheelchairs for mobility. In addition, there are written policies in place stating: "ambulatory only/no wheelchairs". This policy is discriminatory and must be changed.
