Recycled Rides Nominations Due Soon
Washburn Tech’s Recycled Rides program is back after a year off due to COVID-19. Auto repair students and community volunteers have two vehicles to present to members of the community who are struggling without adequate and reliable transportation.
Nomination forms and program requirements can be found at https://www.washburntech.edu/student-life/student-organizations/recycled-rides.html.
Individuals as well as nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for the Recycled Rides program. Nomination forms are available on the Washburn Tech website approximately halfway through each semester. Qualifications include:
- Have a valid driver’s license
- Have proof of income/employment or a verifiable job offer
- Must be insurable with no DWIs or DUIs on your driving record
- Must not have any other vehicle in the household in working order that belongs to you
- Must be drug-free and no extensive criminal background
- Must be able to pay for taxes, license and fees before receiving the vehicle
United Way assists Washburn Tech students with the evaluation of nominations each semester and this year will host the program’s ride-away celebration May 7 in our parking lot at 1527 SW Fairlawn Rd. Recycled Rides is a program of the National Auto Body Council.
