Transportation requirements
- You must be an honorably discharged Veteran or caregiver to a Veteran to ride in our van. A spouse may ride in the van if there is room.
- You must be ambulatory. We don’t have a wheelchair lift so you must be able to get in and out of the van unassisted.
- You must make an appointment through our office to ride our van. This is for insurance purposes and record keeping. We also must have a copy of your DD-214 on file. New riders must fill out an application.
- You must call the office five days in advance of your appointment time to schedule your ride. For appointments call 513-732-7471. The transportation staff will call you and schedule your pickup time.
- You may ride the van for non-medical appointments at the VA medical centers provided there is room. Medical appointments have priority.
- We cannot pick you up at your door unless you’re visually impaired. You must have a doctor’s statement to verify this condition, updated yearly. In certain cases, however, the Director of the Office or the Supervisor of Transportation can make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
- Transportation will not be provided on legal holidays or other appointed days as determined by the CCVSC.
- No eating, drinking or smoking while in the vans.
- No emergency appointments, please. If you have a medical emergency and need transportation call 911.
- All vans would like to leave the VA facilities by 4 pm. Please schedule your appointment accordingly.
- Please schedule all appointments for 9 am or later to ensure all Veterans arrive on time.
- Please, no calls or messages over the weekend when the office is closed.
