?? Access to Reliable Transportation: A Critical Step in Reentry ?? One common theme we see among the people we serve—97% of whom were formerly incarcerated and opened their financial accounts with their state prison IDs—is the challenge of purchasing vehicles in cash from auto dealerships. For many, the cost of a reliable vehicle is simply out of reach, creating a significant barrier to successful reentry. We know that having access to affordable, reliable transportation is crucial for finding and maintaining employment, accessing essential services, and rebuilding one's life. Yet, too many of the hundreds of thousands of people returning from prison each year find themselves priced out of this critical step. We believe more of the hundreds of millions invested in reentry programs should be directed toward making reliable auto ownership a reality. Organizations like On the Road Lending, Vehicles for Change, and others are doing important work in this space, but there's still much more we can do to address these challenges and ensure everyone has the opportunity to fully participate in our communities. #Reentry #FinancialInclusion #SecondChances #SocialImpact #Transportation #OnTheRoadLending #AffordableTransportation
