How are people chosen to purchase cars?
The Working Wheels selection committee chooses participants from the pool of applicants who meet all of the minimum eligibility and financial criteria.  The application process is competitive because there are more applicants than cars.  Applicants who have shown the greatest need and the ability to successfully repay the three-year auto loan will be chosen first.

Other factors that are considered include:

  • your current transportation situation, including the number and condition of cars you own now, the length of your commute, and availability of public transportation
  • clear demonstration that the need for a car is related to your employment situation
  • history of responsibly handling financial commitments
For example, Applicant 1 is a single mother with no car.  She commutes 2 hours by bus to get to work and take her children to school .  Applicant 2 owns a working car that needs repairs.   Applicant 1 would be chosen first.
