Driven by hope.

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 cycle of poverty.

We work with advocates from local charitable, government, and religious organizations to nominate people who are working hard to take significant steps towards self-sufficiency, but who need a vehicle to continue that journey. Many of our clients work full-time jobs, or even multiple jobs at a time. Many raise young kids as a single parent. Some endure countless hours of dialysis or multiple miles of walking to get to and keep their job. Their willingness to personally sacrifice in order to provide for their families, make ends meet, or serve others around them is often what has inspired their advocate to nominate them.

OnRamp DFW 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 service donated vehicles free of charge for the first year to help families progress towards their financial goals. We also help when a potential client’s transportation needs are best served in alternative ways, such as repairing a broken vehicle, providing rides, or donating funds for alternative transportation such as bus tickets.
