The Martin Luther King
Economic Development Corporation
Wheels to Work Program
Wheels to Work is an initiative of the Martin Luther King Economic Development
Corporation (MLKEDC) that will provide transportation opportunities to low income
residents living or working in the City of Miami District 5. 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:OOpm 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.
