The Problem

A job can change your life. But first, you have to get there.

For someone without dependable transportation, keeping a job can become an everyday struggle—even when they are willing and ready to work.

A broken-down vehicle, the loss of a car, or a lack of reliable transportation can turn a good opportunity into a barrier to independence.

✓
They have a job—but no dependable way to get there.
✓
Transportation problems can threaten employment and income.
✓
Getting a vehicle can feel impossible without savings or support.
✓
They need a path forward—not simply another temporary solution.
The Ride To Work Difference

We do more than provide transportation.

Ride To Work helps hardworking people stay employed while they build savings, receive coaching, and work toward reliable transportation and greater independence.

The ride is the starting point. Independence is the goal.
How It Works

From Transportation Problems to Independence

Riders are supported through a practical process designed to help them keep working, save money, and move toward dependable transportation.

1

Get Started & Meet a Coach

Riders learn how the program works, meet with a coach, discuss their transportation challenges, and establish goals.

2

Get to Work & Build Savings

While receiving rides to work, participants build savings and prepare for responsible vehicle ownership.

3

Move Toward Independence

Participants work toward reliable vehicle ownership, continued employment, and a more stable future.

The Goal

More Than a Ride. A Path Forward.

Transportation can unlock a chain of positive changes. Our goal is to help participants move from immediate transportation needs toward lasting independence.

Employment

Reliable transportation helps people get to work consistently.

Savings

Participants work toward financial readiness and vehicle ownership.

Transportation

A dependable vehicle can remove a major barrier to stability.

Independence

The ultimate goal is to move forward without needing ongoing assistance.

A Real Ride To Work Story

More Than A Ride.
It’s A Fresh Start.

One graduate entered the program with a job but no reliable transportation. Through weekly coaching, budgeting, accountability, and consistent savings, she worked toward a goal that once felt impossible.

Months later, she drove away in her own vehicle—with a renewed sense of independence, stability, and hope.

“She was very appreciative and is super excited about the independence that the car is providing her.”
