Abstract:The primary objective of this research was to identify veterans affected by COVID-19 who have mobility needs and who live in rural areas and to quantify the cost of transportation options for meeting those needs. Secondary objectives included analyzing the role of telehealth and how the pandemic has affected mobility and isolation among veterans in rural America. Analysis showed that a coordination effort between VA medical centers and rural public transit agencies would be feasible if projected ridership levels could be met. Policies to encourage possible coordination should be considered to improve veteran medical transportation services.
