Tomorrow starts the Week Without Driving. Make the pledge to participate! Spread the word and share your story. Tag @WeekWithoutDriving and @ourstreetsmn so we can amplify your story and show what transportation access really looks like in Minnesota. weekwithoutdriving.org
Nondrivers aren't a niche group. They make up over a third of the U.S. population.Disrupt car dependency.At different points in our lives, we are nondrivers.Everyone deserves to go to where they need to go. That freedom should not depend on whether you can drive.

Walking, biking, and rolling can be scary. You can help. The Our Streets Board is hosting their annual fundraiser, Nightmare on Our Streets. There will be pizza, mystery prizes, and opportunities to connect with fellow transportation advocates. 🎨: Dane Hart, Our Streets Board Member

Do you think you can go a week without driving? People without a car and those unable to drive often face barriers getting around reliably in our communities. From October 1-8, we invite you to make the pledge and challenge yourself to not drive for a week.
