Week Without Driving

Week Without Driving is a nationwide challenge that invites everyone—but especially people who make transportation decisions—to learn what it can be like to get around without driving. Participants can take part for a full week, a single day, or even one trip.

The goal? To help people better understand the barriers many non-drivers face when traveling to work, school, appointments, stores, and other everyday destinations—and what we can do to build a transportation system that works for everyone.
