What is the Car-Free Challenge?
Every year on World Car-Free Day, we invite you to take the Car-Free Challenge and pledge to go car-free for 1 day, 1 week or 1 month. Please take a few minutes to sign up.
During the Challenge, get a lift from a friend going your way, use mass transit if you can, shop or bank online, walk, bike—or stay near home. You’ll be free of high gas prices and parking hassles. You’ll also feel healthier because you’ll be more active. |

Why celebrate September 22, World Car-Free Day?
Our communities will be healthier if we all drive less. For every mile we drive, 1 pound of CO2 is released into the air. Since automobile use currently accounts for up to 27% of greenhouse gas emissions, driving less is a great way for us to reduce our personal impact on climate change. Join thousands of people in 1500 cities and 40 countries who would like to make the world a better place.

Can you live well with one less car?
After you take the Car-Free Challenge, we hope you will ask yourself, “Could I sell my car or second car and be better off?” Check out our resources page for help in making that decision. With more of us relying less on our cars, we can all breathe cleaner air and create friendlier communities with more green space, better mass transit, and happier, healthier people. |
