STEERING AWAY FROM CAR DEPENDENCY
People of color, those with low incomes, immigrants, and people with disabilities tend to have lower rates of car ownership.
They also have less housing, mobility, and job options.
Fewer than 25 percent of working-age adults who are disabled work full- or
part-time, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, compared to 66
percent of non-disabled adults.
In many cases, it is not the underlying disability that
stifles employment, but rather the lack of transportation access to fulfilling
work opportunities and financial independence.
