The resolution supports the expansion of transportation services for veterans in South Dakota who require medical care, particularly those living in rural areas. It highlights the challenges these veterans face due to inadequate public transportation and a lack of volunteer drivers and vehicles that meet accessibility standards. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preventive medical care for veterans, especially high-risk patients, and calls for safe and reliable transportation options to ensure timely access to healthcare services provided by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Furthermore, the resolution urges the VA to broaden the availability of transportation services in collaboration with local community partners and to enhance eligibility for travel reimbursement to include veterans with disability ratings below thirty percent, regardless of whether their medical care is for service-connected conditions. It also celebrates the Highly Rural Transportation Grant program and advocates for its expansion to better serve the needs of veterans in the state.
