Week Without Driving
Week Without Driving is a weeklong challenge created so that those who are able to drive can learn firsthand about the barriers and challenges non-drivers face every day- and work together to create more accessible communities for all. This year, Week Without Driving will take place from Monday, September 29 to Sunday, October 5, 2025
How does it work?
Every trip counts! From September 19th through October 5th, you can get around however you want, but the challenge is to NOT drive yourself anywhere! This applies to all your trips (work, school. errands, etc). Be mindful of how your trips vary. Are you carpooling with someone or paying for an uber/taxi? If you were a non driver, how would the cost of an uber impact your finances or how often would be asking for a ride from a friend or family member to get to your destination?
Its okay to drive, but its important to reflect on your choices and how different it would look for someone who didn’t have the choice of driving.
