Car Free Day is an international event celebrated every September 22 in which people are encouraged to get around without cars and instead ride a train, bus, bicycle, carpool, subway, vanpool, walk or telework. Car Free Day is open to all commuters, students, homemakers and seniors in the Washington metropolitan area.
Car Free Day is organized in various cities throughout the world in different ways, but with the common goal of taking cars off the streets. The benefit to greater society is a day with less traffic congestion, a greener environment and reduced gasoline demand. Today, Car Free Day includes celebrations in 1,500 cities in 40 countries.
Take the pledge to be car free or car-lite on Saturday, Sept. 22.

Most people say they could use more time and money. Transit helps you get more of both! By using transit, you save on fuel and certain car expenses that, for the average family, can really add up! The average person spends up to a week's worth of vacation time a year sitting in traffic. Don't waste your time -- try transit!

Transit isn’t just for commuting to work. Transit options can help you get to a medical appointment, the salon, a party, the movies, a date, most anywhere you want to go.

If you already use transit, Try Transit Week is a great time to keep up the good work and spread the word about using transit and the benefits that transit delivers such as cost savings and congestion relief.
