The Transportation Relief for Servicemembers at Remote and Isolated Locations Act would reimburse fuel costs, vehicle maintenance, and public transportation costs for those servicemembers assigned to remote or isolated bases, like Naval Air Station Fallon and Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. “Due to a lack of essential services and housing around our more isolated bases, too many servicemembers are forced to spend more of their hard-earned money just to get to and from work every day. As gas prices and car costs continue to rise, so does the strain on the budget of our servicemembers,” said Senator Rosen. “I am proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to support our servicemembers while they do everything they can to defend our freedoms and national security.” “Installations like Dugway Proving Ground and Tooele Army Depot are doing vitally important work for our national security,” said Senator Curtis. “But serving at these remote locations comes with unique sacrifices for servicemembers and their families, who may be forced to choose between long and increasingly expensive commutes or living with limited access to essential services. This bipartisan legislation recognizes the unique challenges of serving in remote locations and will help ease the cost of living for military families while strengthening our ability to recruit and retain those who wish to serve.” Senator Rosen has fought to ensure that servicemembers and veterans in Nevada and across the country have access to all the benefits and resources they need, particularly those in more rural areas. The Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act included Senator Rosen’s provision to designate Creech Air Force Base as a remote and isolated installation. She recently introduced two bills to fund and improve important veterans education programs. Senator Rosen also introduced bipartisan legislation to cut bureaucratic hurdles and improve health care access for servicemembers and veterans. Earlier this year, Senator Rosen helped secure a 3.9 percent pay raise for U.S. servicemembers and billions of dollars in federal funding for job and housing assistance programs for Nevada’s servicemembers in the bipartisan funding package . ### Facebook-f Instagram Youtube Flickr Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos
