Did you know there’s a nationwide event called Week Without Driving?

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.  America Walks 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.

Communities everywhere are embracing this week and considering how nondrivers in their communities move. It’s a week to rethink how to build more accessible places for everyone. Whether you’re walking, rolling, biking, catching public transit or a ride from someone, the Week will inspire you to reimagine our streets. So mark your calendars, spread the word, and join us Monday, September 29 through October 5, 2025!
