Transportation Emerges as Crucial to Escaping Poverty
The effect of transportation on social mobility is stronger than factors like crime, test scores or the percentage of two-parent families.
"Frederick
does not lift the odds of upward mobility quite so much as Washington’s
closer-in suburbs, like Montgomery County, Md., or Fairfax, Va. — which
have more expensive housing and better public transportation.
But
Mr. Baker and Ms. Zona seem to have solved, at least for now, their
transportation problems. In January, they discovered a silver 2001
Toyota Corolla listed for $1,700 on the website of a local nonprofit,
Second Chances Garage. Spotted with old stickers for Chicago sports
teams, it has changed their daily routines. Commuting is easy, and they
can now get to less expensive stores like Walmart and Target.
“The car,” Mr. Baker said, “is the key to life in Frederick.”"
