Week Without Driving PGH
September 30 - October 6
Take the Week Without Driving PGH Pledge & advocate for better mobility options for non-drivers in Allegheny County!
Whether we live in suburban towns or city neighborhoods, everyone in Allegheny County deserves safe, reliable, dignified access to the places we need to go. Across the county, 30% of our friends and neighbors don’t drive a car. The Week Without Driving is a nationwide movement to link the needs of disabled individuals and people of all ages with environmental movements and accessible community planning. Together, we will illustrate challenges and opportunities for non-drivers and call for change that improves mobility for all.
Join us in pledging to take a Week Without Driving PGH. You can participate as an individual, organization, or elected official.
