Required next actionConfirm the applicant can document relevant transportation operating experience and review the latest posted Q&A. Define the incremental vehicles, drivers, dispatch capacity, service hours and underserved geography the project will add; prepare the detailed line-item budget and required RHTP forms; demonstrate that funding expands capacity rather than simply replacing existing vehicles or maintaining current service; and submit through wvOASIS by September 4 at 11:59 PM ET.

Broad Eligibility

The State is seeking transportation providers, public transit agencies, healthcare-affiliated transportation organizations and other experienced operators able to expand healthcare transportation across West Virginia. Current Q&A confirms both for-profit and nonprofit entities may apply when they can demonstrate transportation experience. Projects should increase service capacity, availability or geographic coverage for rural residents rather than fund routine replacement or maintenance of existing operations.

Atlas Analysis

A highly practical access-to-care opportunity for organizations that can rapidly expand non-emergency medical transportation. Strong proposals should quantify added rides, operating hours, counties, driver capacity and patient access gains, connect transportation activity to healthcare utilization and appointment completion, and show how the expanded service can remain operational after the RHTP funding period.
