Imagine navigating your community without being able to drive. How would you get to work, the grocery store, or a doctor’s appointment?

For millions of people across our country, this is an everyday challenge. Missing sidewalks, unreliable transit, and car-centered infrastructure create barriers that limit independence, access to opportunities, and quality of life. This year, Nashville Department of Transportation & Multimodal Infrastructure, Vision Zero, and Nashville Connector are teaming up to bring awareness to a national campaign - Week Without Driving from September 29 - October 5.

As an organization dedicated to sustainable modes of transportation, we see Week Without Driving as a critical step toward recognizing and dismantling the barriers to mobility many face daily. Take the pledge to go a Week Without Driving and tell us how you're experience was!

For those who can use bikes and scooters, B-Cycle is providing FREE Days passes any day of the week using the promo code CARFREE25. Bird, Lime, and Spin are providing 2 FREE 10 minute scooter and e-bike rides using the promo code 1WEEK.
