When Céline arrived in Windsor, Ontario from Cameroon, she was hopeful—but quickly realized how difficult life can be without a car. Public transportation in the area was limited, with long wait times and few direct routes. Getting to school, job interviews, or even the grocery store was a challenge, especially with two young children.
I had just arrived with my kids, and the only affordable apartments I found were far from any bus line,” Céline recalls. “But with ReRide, I got a car within a week, and that changed everything.
Thanks to her ReRide vehicle, Céline was able to secure a lower-rent apartment in a quiet, safe neighborhood that wouldn’t have been possible without a car. Her commute to St. Clair College became smooth and reliable. And with flexible transportation, she had the freedom to explore job opportunities across the city—not just those on a bus route.
ReRide wasn’t just a way to get around. It helped Céline settle, study, and start building a life for her family in Canada—with dignity and independence.
