Most of us take reliable transportation for granted. With the turn of a key we can get to work, to the store, or to the doctor with little fuss or worry. Yet for so many families, reliable transportation is simply out of reach, which severely limits access to jobs, stores, medical care, and social and religious services, and can trap people in a poverty cycle.



OnRamp works with advocates from local charitable, government, and religious organizations to identify people in need who are already taking significant steps towards self-sufficiency, but who need a vehicle to continue that journey. OnRamp finds reliable vehicles through purchase or donation and gifts these vehicles to our clients so they can get back on the road without having to turn to predatory lenders. We provide maintenance support for their first year of care post donation to help families progress towards their financial goals.



As of September 1, 2024, OnRamp has donated reliable vehicles to 202 local families since our inception in 2017! We've fully supported and repaired those vehicles for all of those recipients for the first 12 months. We've also repaired approximately 115 other vehicles for families that just needed repairs rather than an entire vehicle. We've also connected many of these clients with local companion services including financial counseling, Trauma and PTSD counseling, employment assistance, and parenting classes.
