What We Do

Drive-To-Work assists low income or previously incarcerated persons to restore their driving privileges so they can drive to work and keep a job. Recognizing how important a driver's license is to many jobs, Drive-To-Work provides legal and other services and is the only organization in Virginia directly addressing this issue.

Since its founding 2007, Drive-To-Work has grown to provide multiple programs to help individuals restore their driving privileges. They are:

  • Individual legal representation before courts and agencies to remove the barriers to getting a license; • Suggestions of legislative and administrative changes to improve opportunities for all suspended Virginia drivers to restore their driving privileges, consistent with public safety;
  • Educational programs, including operating DTW Driving School (dtwdrivingschool.org), which offer driver improvement clinics and other courses required by DMV;
  • Pre-release seminars on “How To Get Your License Back” for offenders at Department of Corrections correctional centers. Our #GivingTuesdayGreaterLYH greatest need is reaching potential clients who are not aware our services exist.

Due to a generous grant, we are now able to offer a waiver on our application fee which is a $25 savings. To all new clients, we are offering a $300 flat fee for all legal services no matter how extensive the driver's issues are.

Step One: Complete an application online at drivetowork.org or call our office at to have an application mailed to you. Here is the link to the application: https://drivetowork.org/docs/202107_client_application_form.pdf

Step Two: Submit the application and we will order your compliance summary from the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Step Three: After we receive your summary, we will contact you within 10 business days to discuss a plan of action.
