In August 2020, the authors of this paper initiated a community-action project called Veteran Transportation Matters. The goal was to gather information directly from veterans regarding their needs and experiences with transportation in Arizona. The project included: (a) a survey of veterans’ needs, (b) follow-up interviews with veterans, and (c) focus groups with veterans and key stakeholders. The project was a year-long partnership between:

● The Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services
https://dvs.az.gov/
● Arizona’s Be Connected Program

Home

● The American Coalition for Military Families

● The University of Arizona, College of Education
