Opportunity Information: Apply for VA HRTG 2024
The Grants for Transportation in Highly Rural Areas (VA HRTG 2024) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA), specifically through Member Services-Veterans Transportation. The program is designed to support transportation services that help veterans living in highly rural areas get to and from VA or VA-authorized health care appointments, addressing one of the most common barriers to care in remote communities: limited access to reliable transportation.
This particular Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is not an open competition for new applicants. It is limited to current grantees already participating in the Grants for Transportation of Veterans in Highly Rural Areas program for fiscal year 2024. In other words, only organizations that already hold an HRTG award are allowed to apply under this notice, which suggests the funding is intended to continue, renew, or extend existing transportation services rather than launch brand-new projects by first-time applicants.
Eligibility is tightly restricted. Only two types of applicants can apply: a VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO) or a State Veterans Service Agency. Other organizations, even if they provide transportation or serve veterans, would not be eligible unless they fall into one of those categories and meet the VA accreditation requirement where applicable. The listing identifies the eligible applicant type broadly as "Others," but the narrative description clarifies that only those two specific applicant groups qualify.
For fiscal year 2024, approximately $8.0 million is authorized to be appropriated for this program. The NOFO indicates an expected 13 awards, with an award ceiling of $50,000 per award. That ceiling reflects the maximum amount an applicant can receive under this notice, which is useful for planning the scale of services, budgeting vehicles or contracted rides, covering driver-related costs, dispatching, scheduling, and other allowable operational expenses typically associated with rural transportation support. Because the program focuses on highly rural settings, funded activities generally aim to reduce missed appointments, shorten travel barriers, and make it easier for veterans to access care that might otherwise be several hours away.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number VA HRTG 2024, the Assistance Listing (CFDA) number 64.035, and the funding activity category of Transportation. The opportunity was created on May 23, 2024, and the original closing date is June 30, 2024. Taken together, the notice describes a targeted continuation funding round for existing VA rural veterans transportation grantees, with modest per-award funding and a clear focus on maintaining or strengthening transportation solutions that connect highly rural veterans with needed health services.Apply for VA HRTG 2024
