VETERAN GUIDE
Getting Around
Rides to appointments, errands, and everywhere in between. Not every veteran in Williamson County has a car, and these programs can help.
GOING TO A VA APPOINTMENT?
Tell your VA scheduler you need a ride when you book. DAV volunteer vans can take you for free. Questions? Call the Temple VA main line at (254) 778-4811 and ask for DAV transportation.
DRIVING TO VA CARE?
If you qualify for VA travel pay, VA can pay you back for mileage to your VA health care appointments. File online in VA travel pay within 30 days of each appointment; late claims are usually denied.
