Community Leaders & Disability Rights Advocates Unite for the ‘Week Without Driving’
Today marks the beginning of the Week Without Driving, a nationwide challenge that encourages everyone-especially community leaders and decision-makers-to experience life without driving for a week, a day, or even just a trip.
To kick off the Week, elected officials and disability rights advocates from across Dane County joined together for a group bus ride in downtown Madison.
The event highlighted the barriers faced by the 30-40% of Dane County residents who don't drive, including people with disabilities, older adults, children, students, and people who cannot afford the high cost of owning a vehicle.
