Rules, Contacts & Reality of the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Transportation Program are included in this document taken straight off the web (see the web address at the top of the document). Once again, we see State and Federally sanctioned rubber stamps on discriminatory practices towards Veterans in wheelchairs. This is in violation of Federal Title VI (Civil Rights Law), the Americans with Disabilities Act, The Olmstead Act and the Civil Rights Reconstruction Act of 1987. Thank you for viewing!

Transportation Network: DAV Transportation Program

Oklahoma.
Eligibility: Veterans who need transportation to their VA authorized medical appointments. The
veteran must be able to enter and exit the vans with NO ASSISTANCE. The
vans are not handicap accessible.

in your area.
Rules and Regulations: All passengers must have an authorized VA medical appointment. All travel
requests will be made in advance with the HSC office. There is no smoking, chewing tobacco,
drinking, food, foul language, weapons, drugs, or any illegal activity allowed on the vans. Seat belts
will be used at all times. All passengers must be ready at the appointed times. The vans will not
make personal side trips. 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. The DAV Transportation network relies soley on donations from the public and
contributions from our National Headquarters to fund our programs. Please help us help our
veterans by sending a donation to the Department of Oklahoma, ATTN: Transportation. Your
donations are tax deductible.
