AboutFace-USA® Veteran Ride Service Program
Welcome to the AboutFace-USA® Veteran Ride Service Program
AboutFace-USA® is offering a transportation program, free to veterans living in Cherokee, Dawson, Forsyth, and Pickens counties. Registration and approval through our application process allows for paid scheduling and transportation services using Common Courtesy (https://ccrides.org). Our mission is to provide veterans with the transportation they need to access essential health services and improve their quality of life. Health Care Appointments must be within 20 miles of your home address or be at the Atlanta VA Medical Center or any Atlanta VAHCS CBOC (Community Based Outpatient Clinic). This program is funded through September 2025 by SAMHSA.
