Week Without Driving with America Walks

Challenge yourself to not drive for a week! Those who can drive and have access to a car don’t face the same barriers of people who rely on daily walking, rolling, transit, and asking for rides. Week Without Driving is a firsthand learning experience so that those who have the option to drive can learn about the barriers nondrivers often face.

Here’s how it works: You can get around however you want without driving yourself in any car. This applies to all your activities, not only your work commute! Consider carpooling or paying for rides, biking to work, or taking public transit to get around. If you have to drive, this doesn’t mean you failed the challenge. Instead, use this an opportunity to reflect and consider what this means for nondrivers.

Anyone can participate in the Week Without Driving! Take this opportunity to challenge yourself and not drive for a week.
