The Week Without Driving isn't scary. People with disabilities and people of all ages do it all the time. 30% of Allegheny County doesn't drive. We need to build a transportation system that works for us all. Watch the Video + Take the pledge [[link removed]] [link removed] [[link removed]] [link removed] [[link removed]] "I want people to take a load off and ride the bus, take a look around at the neighborhoods, see the struggles. Then maybe they would have more input on how to help. I want folks to experience sitting out in the cold waiting for a bus, maybe then they’d push for more bus shelters to go up. They may not be able to go to the drive-through, but they’ll live." "More funding for better public transit is a disability justice issue. It is a community justice issue. When we make it easy for people with disabilities to travel, we create communities where everyone can participate and contribute." - Sherai Richardson, Pittsburghers for Public Transit Member // Read Sherai's full #WeekWithoutDriving story [[link removed]] - Kelda Gorman, Pittsburghers for Public Transit Member // Read Kelda's full #WeekWithoutDriving story [[link removed]]
The Week Without Driving is more than going a mile in the shoes of a non-driver, it is about elevating the demand for improved mobility options for all.
