The Veteran Enhanced Transportation Service (V.E.T.S.) is a volunteer transportation program for veterans and their spouses. This program is administered through a community partnership between the Prince William Area Agency on Aging (Agency) and Volunteer Prince William’s Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). The purpose of V.E.T.S. is to offer safe and reliable transportation to veterans and their spouses who are unable to transport themselves to doctors’ offices or pharmacies. V.E.T.S. gives Older American Veterans, age 55 or older, the opportunity to volunteer in their community for a great cause. Since April 23, 2013, the V.E.T.S. program has assisted in serving over 25 veterans and/or their spouses, and logged 221 trips.
