#WeekWithoutDriving puts #nondrivers' needs in the spotlight and can contribute to policies that get everyone where they need to go, regardless of how they move. #PEI voters will choose new local councils on November 2. #CarDependency #MobilityJustice #SustainableTransportation

#WeekWithoutDriving gains momentum! Hundreds of elected leaders, organizations, and community advocates have pledged to walk, roll, bike, and ride transit to bring awareness to the gaps in our transportation system for nondrivers. Are you on board? There’s still time! Sign up at buff.ly/GJvE4Uy

Message applies equally to #PEI. Contact your councillor or MLA to demand action, or to let them know what you or your senior or child family members need for safe mobility that doesn’t require driving.

DAY 4! Walking, rolling, biking, taking the bus are good for your #health, great for the planet and a different way to maintain #social connectedness in your #community and create a greater sense of #belonging. How has #WeekWithoutDriving made you think of interactions with your community? #WWDPEI

Non-drivers make up 30% of the population. Access to work, school, healthcare, food & social life shouldn’t depend on owning a car. People who can’t drive, or can’t afford to drive, should be able to get where they’re going safely, easily & independently. What's your story? #WeekWithoutDriving

1/2 A rural transport service can exist without providing a realistic travel option. A bus may serve a community, but that does not necessarily mean residents or visitors can use it for the journeys they need to make. #RuralMobility #PublicTransport #IntegratedTransport #PEI
