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. |

"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."

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. |
