Ready to ride? Before scheduling any mission, we need two simple forms completed. These forms help us confirm the veteran's military status and obtain the details of the trip request. We also require a release from a Physician if the veteran is also a passenger.
Call the VAC offices at 952-582-2911 to start the process.
We look forward to serving you!
Passenger Qualifications
The Service Member/Veteran as a passenger
Any Veteran or active duty military person undergoing continuing medical care is eligible for transportation between the medical facility and from his/her home. A medical release from a physician may be required for travel.
Families and friends as passengers
Service Member/Veteran status
Passengers are transported to and from the medical facility for the benefit of the service member/veteran, not the passengers. Passenger eligibility requires the service member/veteran to be undergoing continuing medical care, either hospitalized or as an outpatient.
Relationship to the service member/veteran
Passengers must be family or a very close personal friend of the veteran.
Requirements for all passengers
