Many of us who have struggled with being  low income/disabled/single mom/seniors  know what it is like to be without transportation.Here is an article that talks about this struggle .If you know someone who doesn't 'get' what it is like to not have a car , send them to this link.

High Cost or High Opportunity Cost? Transportation and Family Economic Success

by Margy Waller, Visiting Fellow

Center on Children and Families, The Brookings Institution

 

 

"Research evidence suggests that having a car is a worthwhile investment in better outcomes for low-income families. Recent reports quantify the additional money required to own and operate personal vehicles, as compared to the lower cost of traveling on public transit. However, this method of accounting fails to consider the fact that poor workers without a car may not be able to search for or accept a better-paying job because public transit doesn't go there, causing these workers to lose lost income or benefits as a result. This report outlines opportunity costs experienced by transit-dependent poor households, and concludes that when all costs are considered along with benefits of private vehicles, it makes sense to press for more assistance and policies that reduce car ownership costs for poor workers."
The rest of the article can be found here : http://www.brookings.edu/papers/2005/1128childrenfamilies_waller.aspx

Job Opportunity Transportation Program
Ventura, California

The Human Services Agency (HSA) of the Ventura Department of Social Services operates the Job Opportunity Transportation Program, a self-funding program that provides people enrolled in California's welfare program (CalWORKS) with reliable transportation for work. The initiative's primary goal is to assist CalWORKs families in obtaining reliable transportation to maintain employment, get off welfare, and achieve long-term financial self-sufficiency.

The program operates as an auto loan initiative which purchases economy vehicles that fleet operators (such as local government or large private employers) plan to dispose of because of age or high mileage, or because the vehicles are surplus. The vehicle obtained are inspected, and all necessary repairs are completed by a private sector auto repair facility, or by auto repair classes at local community colleges. The vehicles are then sold at minimal cost to pre-screened welfare families to be used as transportation to and from work. The Ventura County Federal Credit Union provides loans to these families to purchase the vehicles.

I am 61 and on Soc Sec Disability. I have been seperated for over 6 months and have absolutely no transportation. I have an average of two doctor or other medical appts each week usually 53 miles away. I also have a grand daughter several days a week and need only a dependable auto to get to doctors, grocery, laundry and essential needs. I live on a tight budget and can come up with fuel and insurance money but after so many medical bills it is impossible to get an auto or financing. I'm 60 miles west of Nashville TN and have little family to depend upon. Just a little one time help to get to doctors and my 10 year old grand daughter, my life. Willing to return the help in any way I can. I do Genealogy Research.

I am a single mother of a special needs 11 year old. We fled an abusive marriage and divorce is being finalized. Because I have been a stay at home mom and college student, I have a limited work history. My ex took everything and hid all his assets under his mother's name, leaving us with only our clothes and cell phone. Since he is not my son's biological father, he won't help me financially. I am utilizing every local program I can find, looking for work, and trying to return to school and finish my degree (1 year left!) We are in Arlington Texas, and need help with finding a car, as there is no public transportation here. Sad, even though this is a rather large city. We are also seeking housing and furniture. Please help. Any help or information would be appreciated! Thank you! 936-553-2154.

 in response to sweetpeabeauty...   I’m sorry to hear about what you are facing.
Whether it is financial, health, or whatever your need may be up against in your life.
There is HOPE. At times we need assistance when time’s can be difficult.
Sometimes that can be difficult because it can be humbling to seek assistance from others.
We all go through these things in our lives at one point or another.
You are welcome to look over my home page. You may very well find assistance.
Click on my image, and links are on the right.
If you receive this. I already have prayed for you.
If you place your trust in a real loving God.
He will help you. He will help you that shall best benefit you.
When he doe’s move. It will bring him glory.
It may not be the way you would’ve done things, but if God is in it.
You will be far more happier when he move‘s.
His ways are above our ways.
His thoughts are above our thoughts.
If you place your faith, trust, and accept Jesus Christ into your life.
Ask him to come into your life to live for HIM, and when you sincerely do this
God will be faithful.
Gods presence may be instantaneous known when you do this.
“Maybe not”. Some feel nothing.
Rest assured. HIS presence will be KNOWN TO YOU.
HE is real, and HE love’s you.
How can you know his love, and if he is real?
You WILL KNOW. I promise you that.
Keep HIM first, read the word of God, and do the word of God.
Your love for HIM will increase as you REALIZE his love for YOU.
His love will become real to you.
Here is a FEW things that God has done for me, and my family.
1) Paid outstanding bills that I couldn’t pay through church I attended regularly.
2) Healed me of cancer, and other disease’s instant healing, gradual healing, and a word of knowledge heal
3) God delivered me from Satanism
4) God delivered me from drugs. (supernaturally with no side effects from marijuana, cocaine, hash, crack, etc..)
5) God opened up jobs when I had none.
6) God saved me from suicidal tendencies. ( In INTESIVE CARE UNIT FROM DRUG OVERDOSE, AND NOT KNOWING IF I WOULD LIVE OR DIE)
7) God prevented us from being homeless by opening doors for temporary shelter. ( One time we were about to become homeless. We applied for shelter through state. They told us a 1 year waiting list, but God opened the door with in a week.)
8)God gave me hope to live.
9) God made arrangements one year when I lost my job around Christmas. (Someone walked up to my wife at church, and gave my wife a jar with angels on it. She removed the cork, and found $1000.00 cash in it.)
10) God made arrangements for a new car ( That God arranged, and we didn’t have to pay for it.)
11)God arranged money to come in the mail with no return address. ( out of state)
12) God made arrangements to find cash laying on the ground.
That is just scratching the surface to what God has done.
God is NO respecter of persons. What he doe’s for one. He will do for another.
Do you know what the most awesome thing is about this.
That GOD LOVE’S YOU AS MUCH AS HE LOVES ME.
Trust in him today friend.
If you need any additional prayers. Please let me know.
You can reach me by this email address or contact me through my YOU TUBE CHANNEL
By entering theiggy457, and press enter.
If you need healing. I pray that God supernaturally touches you where you are.
Shalom, love, and blessing’s. Mike

Hi if anyone knows of any agency that helps with car repairs in north OH please let me know....my job is on the line. I'm a single mother of a toddler and my car is very unreliable. If I can find some program that can fix it cheap or allow me to make low payments on it over a period of time....that would be a blessing. There are several things wrong with it that I am aware of, but I am not sure what the newest problem is. I have no heat (so I must need a blow motor), my turn signal lights do not work despite putting in new bulbs (so I must have electrical problems), the car was cutting off every couple miles, but would start up eventually after a few tries and now the car will not start at all :( The auto shop put a new starter, altenator and battery in the car a year ago so I know the problem has nothing to do with those. Taxi cabs cost so much and public transportation does not run frequently ( I am not in a big city) so I need a car in order to keep my job as well as transport my child and I as needed. Any info or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

hello i recently relocated to Atlanta, GA. I had a car accident Jan. 23,2012. As a result I have lost my job which led to the lost of my apartment. I have no family or friends here in GA. I do have a job that I walk 3.9 miles to and from each day. It would also make it easier for my small business to develop if I had transportation to reach my clients. I have tried to get loans but I have been turned down because the length of time on job and I have no physical address. I was sleeping at the local truck stop but since I have new employment I have moved into a hotel that is costing over 1000$ a month. If anyone has information on housing that does not do credit checks that would help a lot also that way I can save and pay cash for a vehicle. I really hate to sound needy but I am desperate.

As with the many "419" scams for money, I would be very suspicious of trying to send money internationally to someone who could very easily tell an unverifiable story while providing bank account information. Even if this is an honest person, they're in the wrong forum for such a request and need to understand the dubious nature of what they're asking for.

 in response to sickofgettingnohelp...   Well normally i would give u advice on how to change it yourself but obviously some situations are a bit more extreme than others. If you need to get some work done to your car for cheap but dont want any old yahoo doing it for you, then try the local highschool or community college. they usually have auto tech classes where young people are learning to work on cars. Of course they are under the supervision of the instructor so quality is not usually a problem. Also if that does not work for you then try posting an help needed ad at a local church, at least one member is usually mechanically inclined enough to pull this type off. Also remember to purchase the part yourself from a local auto parts store to save an extra dime or two. Good luck, any further questions let me know. Hope this helps.

 in response to Manicmechanic...   I have a 1999 Grand Am SE 4cyl, and my water pump needs to be replaced. I'm a disabled female senior and can not afford to pay $950 to a service center for labor fees. At that price it's more than my monthly income. I can get the new water pump I just can't afford to pay someone a large sum of money to replace it when the car is 13yrs old with almost 200,000 miles on it. It's still reliable with the exception of the pump. Just can't seem to find anyone that is willing to donate their time to replace it.

 in response to kids are cold...   Hi, I dont know if you have read any of my other posts to people on here a lot of car problems arent as bad or hard to fix on your own which would save you a great deal of money in the long run, "teach a man to fish..." kind of thing. First of all, If you don't mind of course. 1. Make and Model of your van. 2. Specifics: mileage, driving habits, past problems etc. 3. What do you mean about to die? describe as best as you can, noises, lack of power, hard to steer, dies at stoplights, etc. 4. When you say "no heat" does that mean when you turn the switch on the fan blows (air actually comes out of the vents) but it just isn't warm? Or is it nothing happens, no air no nothing? If you get air but no heat, 99 out of 100 its your thermostat, very simple and easy to do and requires usually very basic tools. Beginner Auto tech students get asked to do these types of jobs. If there is no air blowing at all, it most likely an electrical problem, a fuse, switch, or relay, again very simple to do and not to be overwhelmed by. If you"d like anymore advice or help just let me know. Hope this helps in someway.
