Michelle Corson
Letter from Our Founder and CEO
We looked around our community and saw people who were unable to take better jobs, access good food or take their kids to the doctor, all because they lacked one thing—reliable transportation. When we sought to understand why people were driving older, polluting vehicles, we discovered the problem ... and the solution.


I’ve really seen some amazing things since I started this company. Without fail, I have seen tears each time I deliver a car. These tears are tears of joy, relief and gratitude. These are families who are amazed that someone would take a chance on them after making mistakes in their lives. I have seen people get raises and promotions because they could get to work on time. I have seen people whose children could go to better schools because their parents could get them there. I have seen families achieve economic mobility and better health. It is more than freedom of time, although that is critically important. I have learned that these families—my friends—love their cars in the same way I love mine.
