ENJOI TRANSPORTATION TO DONATE VEHICLES TO LOCAL CHARITIES:
Enjoi Transportation announced plans today to donate used vehicles
to local charities in support of Michigan's Work First program.
"The biggest problem for the working poor, who are called upon
to work to obtain government assistance, often is just getting from
home to work", stated Enjoi CEO Paulette Hamilton. "The
lack of transportation is a major force that continually pulls them
back into poverty." Responding to a recent University of Michigan
study that identified the lack of transportation as the number one
barrier to employment, Enjoi will donate used vehicles from its
fleet to local charities, who will provide them to Work First participants.
"We want to do everything we can to grow Michigan",
stated Ms. Hamilton. "In order to grow Michigan we have to
put people to work. In order to put people to work, they must have
access where the jobs are--whether the job is in the inner city
or the suburbs. People must be able to get there."
Enjoi Transportation is a Michigan-based non-emergency
transportation company that coordinates transportation services
for health maintenance organizations (HMO's), government agencies,
long-term care facilities and also for elderly, disabled, and low-income
individuals.

Hamilton, founder and CEO of Enjoi Transportation. "A core
part of our mission is serving the needs of disadvantaged citizens,
which includes at-risk youth, so this donation is a logical way

and awareness program. Developed by the Rehabilitation Institute
of Michigan in 1996, the program is sponsored in part by the United
Way Community Services. The goal of the program is three-fold, to
increase awareness about the impact of violence and ways to reduce
its incidents among at risk youth. Pioneers for Peace members are
all survivors of violence who have sustained a spinal cord injury,
brain injury, or another type of traumatic injury that resulted
in a permanent disability. Each member views her or his disability
not as a tragedy but rather as an opportunity to make a difference
by becoming an advocate for violence prevention. For more information,
