launched
in Washington state in 2021 and now has become a national event, with more
than 300 organizations cohosting the challenge across all 50 states.

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. We created the Week Without Driving challenge 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.

The Week Without Driving challenges elected leaders, advocates, and
individuals to understand the barriers for nondrivers. Participants can get
around however they want, but can’t drive themselves. This applies to all
activities — not just work commutes. The challenge isn’t about not using a
car, rather it’s to see what it’s like to not be the one able to drive, to
better understand what it’s like to try to navigate their communities
without the privilege of driving.

In Washington state this year, Week Without Driving events will be taking
place across the state in Vancouver, Kitsap County, Spokane, Olympia,
Seattle and Pasco. A full list of planned events is included below.

*Governor Jay Inslee* has officially commemorated the Week Without Driving
with a proclamation recognizing that *“**going a week without driving is
great way to understand how we can improve our current transportation
system to better meet the needs of Washingtonians and improve and enhance
transportation options such as transit, light rail, biking and walking
pathways as key strategies in our decarbonization efforts.”*
