Week Without Driving Challenge from Sep 30 through Oct 6
2024-09-30 00:00 - 2024-10-06 23:59 | WA
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.
The Week Without Driving challenge has been created 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.

CLICK HERE TO PARTICIPATE

HOW DOES THE CHALLENGE WORK?

✔️Every Trip Counts
You can get around however you want, but the challenge is not to drive yourself in any car. This applies to all your activities — not just your work commute. If you normally transport other family members or friends, it applies to those trips too.

✔️Asking or Paying for Rides
You can ask someone else to drive you, but make a note of how much you “owe” this person in their time, and if you felt obligated to support them in other ways (ie, doing all the dishes). You can ride hail or taxis if they exist where you need to go, but again, think about how the cost could impact your decision to take this trip if this was regularly your only option.

✔️Who Has Choices, What Are Your Choices?
This isn’t a disability simulation or a test of how easily you can find alternatives. We know that it is far easier to give up your keys if you can afford to live in a walkable area well served by transit, or can outsource your driving and other transport and delivery needs to other people.

✔️It’s Okay to Drive – But Reflect What That Means for Nondrivers
Having to drive during the challenge does not signify failure. Sometimes the best reflection comes when someone participating in the challenge has to drive. The point is to consider how someone without that option would have coped, and what choices they might have made.

Switch Your Trips Challenge & Win Nice Prizes
2024-10-01 - 2024-10-31 | WA
Switch Your Trips begins October 1st and runs til October 31st
Leave the car at home during October and reap the benefits of trying other modes of transportation. Participants who log at least 10 sustainable trips will be entered to win prizes, including an e-bike!
Sustainable trips include carpool, Vanpool, bus, train, light rail, foot ferry, bicycle, walking, rolling, or a combination. Follow Switch Your Trips at facebook.com/SwitchYourTripsWA and instagram.com/switchyourtripswa.
