Transportation Programs
Connecting New Englanders with Affordable, Reliable Transportation Since 1996
The mission of Good News Garage is to create economic opportunity by providing affordable and reliable transportation options to people in need.
Transportation programs and resources offering help are available in Massachusetts and Vermont. Each state has specific guidelines for who qualifies to receive assistance and clients are referred to GNG by our partners. We do not have an internal application.
Transportation is critical! Help us advocate for access to reliable, affordable transportation in your state. Consider writing a letter or email to your state representatives. You can find out how to contact your local legislator here.
Donated Wheels
Our Donated Wheels program awards safe, reliable vehicles to individuals and families in need. To date, this program has provided nearly 6,000 vehicles to our New England neighbors since 1996. All vehicles are donated by generous New Englanders who would like to see their old or unused cars, trucks, and vans serve their community members and provide them with independence and mobility.
This program is currently awarding vehicles to residents of Vermont in partnership with the Department of Children and Families’ Reach Up program and in Massachusetts in partnership with local nonprofits and community organizations.
Car donations are what fuels this program, making it possible for dozens of individuals and families to overcome transportation barriers every year. Thank you, donors, for helping our communities move forward, one car at a time!
To support this program and help your neighbors move forward, you can make a tax-deductible car donation in minutes.
Ready To Go
Ready To Go (R2G) is a transportation service bringing individuals and families to and from critical life activities, such as work, job training, school, medical appointments, and grocery stores. This program is operated out of our Burlington, Vermont office and provides transportation all over Vermont.
If your business or organization is interested in partnering to provide rides to employees, staff, and other individuals please contact us.
