MLKEDC has partnered with companies in the automotive industry, i.e. insurance companies, auto maintenance shops, etc. to implement the Wheels to Work initiative. Clients will receive reliable automobiles, under a manufacturer's warranty at wholesale prices, affordable insurance and car maintenance services. Owning a dependable car can mean the difference between employment and unemployment, accessing childcare, participating in children's school related activities, and self-improvement through additional job training or higher education. District 5 in the City of Miami is home for many "Working Poor Families". The average Working Poor Family earns between $15,000 and $22,000. Forty percent (40%) of the working poor's income is spent on transportation related costs as opposed to 24.6% of the general population. The public transportation system can be inaccessible or unreliable for parents who work until 5:00pm that are dependent on public transportation to pick up their children from daycare or school by the required pick up time, which is often times nearly impossible as it is usually a mere hour after the end of the work day, usually 6:OOpm. Extracurricular activities are often unavailable even where such activities are offered within the community for families dependent on public transportation. Many low income families have no credit history or poor credit which makes them vulnerable to predatory lenders. Lenders take advantage of the lack of credit or poor credit by charging high interest rates for used vehicles with poor or no maintenance records. These cars are often wrought with major costly mechanical problems. The cost of insurance and car -care services can make it impossible to get and keep a vehicle. The vehicles often break down before the owner can pay off the loan, leaving the purchaser without transportation and possibly a judicial judgment further impeding future opportunities. MLK Wheels to Work will make available to low income families affordable, reliable automobiles, insurance and car -care services enabling them to arrive at work dependably, take their children to school, shop for groceries and participate in community activities. Clients "buy" a vehicle from the program by making monthly payments to MLKEDC they can afford and eliminating the obstacles a Working Poor Family faces as a car owner and simultaneously allows them to build a good credit history.
