With today’s transportation costs on the rise,
it’s no wonder working families face difficulty with obtaining affordable,
reliable transportation in order to get to and from work. Quite often this
can make the difference between keeping and losing a job.
Our Transportation Services Program can make a difference by providing a “jump start” for families residing in Lewis
County, NY by helping to:
- Provide repair work to a family’s existing
vehicle;
- Assist with insurance
payments;
- Assist with other alternative forms of
transportation to get to and from work;
- If eligible, providing a 0% loan to purchase a
pre-owned vehicle
The road doesn’t end there. We can also help the family identify
their strengths and goals, and work with the family in their efforts to
become more self-reliant with their transportation needs and with reaching
their other goals in life. |
 |
In 2012, about 70 individuals
secured reliable transportation through our transportation services program
to either obtain or maintain employment. |
