Transportation to the Portland VA Medical Center

The Portland VA Medical Center is an important healthcare destination for veterans throughout Oregon and southwest Washington. Veterans may travel to the facility for a wide range of medical, specialty, rehabilitation, and support services.

Depending on eligibility, veterans may have access to transportation programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA provides several transportation resources for eligible veterans, including Veterans Transportation Service (VTS), Disabled American Veterans (DAV) transportation, and other travel assistance programs. Veterans can learn more about available options through the VA Portland Health Care System transportation resources.

Transportation eligibility, scheduling requirements, service areas, and available accommodations may vary. Veterans should contact the VA directly to learn about current eligibility and transportation benefits before making travel arrangements.

Some veterans may also qualify for VA travel assistance or reimbursement programs depending on eligibility requirements and appointment information. Additional information about VA travel reimbursement benefits is available through VA Health Care Travel Reimbursement.

Veterans who need transportation outside of an available VA transportation program may also choose to arrange transportation through another local transportation provider.
