Week Without Driving
*Kitsap County joins the Week Without Driving challenge*

Kitsap County Commissioners and the Kitsap County Accessible Communities Advisory Committee [ [link removed] ] are proud to participate in the Week Without Driving challenge Sept. 30 through Oct. 6, 2024. Commissioners issued a proclamation [ [link removed] ] this week in support of this national initiative that showcases a unified effort to experience the world through the lens of nondrivers and contributes to meaningful discussions and actions towards more accessible, equitable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions.

Kitsap County extends an invitation to everyone to participate in this challenge! Make your transportation plan now for the Week Without Driving. Consider walking, cycling, using public transit, carpooling or other alternatives.

As the proclamation states, “Access to mobility is a fundamental part of health and community connection...and is one of Washington state's six transportation system policy goals, including investing public dollars to improve the movement of people throughout Kitsap County.”

The Week Without Driving encourages people to step into the shoes of those who cannot or choose not to drive and rely on alternative forms of transportation due to disability, age, economic circumstances or personal choice. The goals are to foster a deeper understanding of everyday barriers faced by nondrivers and for residents to gain valuable insights into the importance of accessible and diverse transportation options to connect communities,

Find information about some local transportation options at the Kitsap Transit [ [link removed] ] website, talk to your employer about ride-share options, check out park-and-ride lots [ [link removed] ] or connect with neighbors and friends to carpool to local events and activities.
