Transportation & Travel Voucher Programs

Transportation Program

This office has vehicles to provide transportation to Veteran Administration (VA) medical appointments. This includes the VA Medical Center (Pittsburgh, PA) and local VA clinics (Cambridge, OH; Marietta, OH; Parkersburg, WV; St. Clairsville, OH). Transportation for non-VA appointments maybe available based on individual veteran needs. Transportation may also be provided to Compensation Benefit Exams (C&P exams) pending approval.

If you would like to schedule a ride, please call 740-472-0743 and Press 1 to contact the Transportation Coordinator. You must call at least 48 hours in advance of your appointment. If you are directed to voicemail please leave a message with your name, your phone number, and the location of your appointment, along with the date and time of the appointment. Your call will be returned as soon as possible by the Transportation Coordinator to confirm your appointment.

The driver will contact you no later than 6:00 PM the day before the appointment to confirm departure time. All departures are from the Woodsfield Office or Clarington pick-up point.
