Good News Garage provides vehicles to low-income individuals and families in need of transportation. Access to transportation is a major barrier for low-income women and others trying to gain economic security. Our qualified applicants have a significantly difficult commute, are faced with non-standard shifts, require multiple childcare drops, or have jobs that require additional work-related travel or a reverse commute. Lack of a vehicle also limits access to affordable housing, healthcare, education, childcare, shopping and religious services. Lack of a vehicle consumes significant time for parents and their children – time that could be spent working, studying, participating in after-school activities, or investing in family time. Parents are not well-positioned to care and provide for children without a vehicle in today’s American society.
More than 80% of clients served are single parents who are struggling to achieve financial independence and a better quality of life for themselves and their children.
