NEWS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Transportation Survey

The distance between where you are and where you need to be.

The Gap

THE GAP

For veterans without reliable transportation, a two-mile trip to a clinic can be the hardest part of getting care. We're mapping how big that gap really is — and taking it to the County.

Every dashed segment is a trip that didn't happen — a missed appointment, a skipped refill, a ride asked for one too many times.

This survey exists to measure it.

WHY WE'RE ASKING

"We've heard this is a problem" isn't the same as data.​​

Not every veteran in Wilco has a car. It's easy to overlook if you've never had to think about it — but for a lot of veterans here, getting to a VA appointment, picking up a prescription, or just getting groceries means depending on someone else, or not going at all.

​

The Veteran Services Office wants to bring this in front of the people who can act on it — the County Commissioners. A short, honest survey turns "we think this is happening" into "here's what 60 veterans told us, specifically."
