The forum will provide U.S. veterans, service members, their families, and community service providers the opportunity to share ideas and solutions that will help to ensure the nation's transportation networks work for everyone.
The funds, part of the Obama Administration’s Joining Forces initiative, will support 55 projects in 32 states and Guam to enhance access to local, affordable transportation services for military families and spouses.
Altoona VA’s two new coaches feature 47 forward-facing seats with footrests and cup holders; DVD entertainment systems; Cummins ISM 2007 410-hp engines; Allison B500 transmissions, and patriotic decals. The veterans use the coaches to access medical and specialty services not provided by their home facility.
