These questions reveal how much we assume everyone drives. That assumption reveals who has access and who gets left out. When you don’t drive, everything becomes a negotiation between time, money, energy, distance, and a trade-off of what you can do and can access.

What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option? What changes when you cannot drive somewhere? Does an errand or a doctor’s appointment become a full-day commitment? Does a job become a question of access, not ability? weekwithoutdriving.org

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.

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.

Need guidance on what to say? Use our call script. The time to act is now. Make your voice heard and apply pressure to make the Twin Cities a more livable, climate-resilient, vibrant, healthy, and connected community.
SAMPLE SCRIPT
Hello, my name is _ _ _ _ _ _ and I'm calling to ask Governor Walz to pause the Rethinking I-94 project, restore transformative alternatives, and re-evaluate the project's goals and evaluation criteria.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to address the harm caused when the highway was built through communities like Rondo and Cedar-Riverside. We shouldn't rush into a decision that could narrow our choices or lock us into rebuilding the same infrastructure that created these harms. It's time to act. Pause the Rethinking I-94 project. Thank you.

Our Streets @ourstreetsmn.org · 23/09/2026
We need you to ring the governor's office. Take action by calling Governor Walz's office to ask for a pause on the project.

Don't Accept Empty Promises: Push for a Pause on the Rethinking I-94 Project - Our Streets

Public streets are public infrastructure, not a testing ground for private technology companies that will take jobs from Minnesota workers and undercut our progress towards a more safe, accessible, and equitable transportation system.
Protect our neighbors. protect our workers. Workers drive Minneapolis. Public Comment Opportunity. Sept 22 & 29 at 1:30pm. Minneapolis city hall. Without regulations, commercial automated vehicles could pose significant safety risks, disrupt traffic, undermine the City’s transportation and sustainability goals, and displace thousands of rideshare workers. Come testify to support our neighbors and workers over tech billionaires!

Autonomous vehicles are a direct threat to thousands of residents who drive to support their families. Use your voice and support protections of vulnerable communities from extractive billionaire tech corporations like Waymo. Make a plan to testify or send an email to decision-makers.
