Driving Opportunity: Equipping Partners with Tools to Support the Journey to Car Ownership
Description: Catch a Ride Network, in partnership with Capital One, is inviting community-based organizations and service providers to an interactive learning session focused on car ownership as a pathway to economic mobility. The session will explore why reliable vehicle access is still critical for many households—especially those affected by transit deserts—and how transportation barriers impact employment, healthcare access, and financial stability.
The event will highlight practical, shareable resources from Capital One’s Digital Car Buying Roadmap, covering topics such as budgeting, credit readiness, smart car-buying decisions, and preparing for financial challenges. The goal is to equip partners with tools they can use to help individuals make informed, sustainable decisions about vehicle ownership.
In the webinar we will discuss:
- How vital car ownership shapes household outcomes and why healthy mobility ecosystems still support vehicle ownership
- Resources available for supporting the unique journey for navigating the car buying process – including breaking down the car buying process into clear, manageable steps.
- Practical tools that help avoid common financial pitfalls in vehicle ownership
- Supporting materials for building a financial plan that protects long-term stability
