Week without Driving

Monday, September 29 – Sunday, October 5, 2025

Join us in participating in the Week Without Driving challenge. What is #WeekWithoutDriving? Here’s how the national organization describes it:

If you can drive or afford a car, you may not understand what it’s like to rely on walking, rolling, transit and asking for rides. But for nearly a third of people living in the United States – people with disabilities, young people, seniors and people who can’t afford cars or gas – this is our every day. We created the Week Without Driving experience so that those who have the option to drive can learn firsthand about the barriers and challenges that nondrivers face and work with nondrivers to create more accessible communities for all. 

And, here are some resources to help you plan ahead to minimize, or eliminate altogether, driving for a full week.
