The rules, from the same page: "Veteran MUST be a resident of Pickaway County to be transported in our vans. This office MUST have a copy of your DD 214, under honorable conditions or better, or proof of veteran status on file prior to transport. We transport to medical appointments ONLY at VA facilities, VA Medical Center or VA referred medical facilities. We transport Monday through Friday except on legal holidays. WE DO NOT PROVIDE EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION. YOU NEED TO CALL 911. It is the responsibility of the veteran to provide a safe access to the home and a safe pick up point with room for the vehicle to turn around. ... In the event of a level 2 weather emergency, there will be no transportation provided. ... Pick up and departure times will be based on the earliest and latest appointment time, in the event several veterans require transportation to the same facility. All transportation must be coordinated with the Transportation Coordinator, NOT the driver."
Conduct and pay. "Veterans under the influence of alcohol or drugs or acting in a rude manner toward the driver or other passengers will be removed from the Transportation Program. No smoking, eating, drinking or use of tobacco products is permitted in any vehicle. ... Please be advised that you are NOT entitled or eligible for travel pay from the VAMC if transported by our vans. This is a prosecutable offense."
