National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board July 18, 2012 ITEM #7

Car Free Day Background First took place in the DC region in Event started in Europe in 1995, went global in 2000 and is part of Europe’s mobility week. For at least one day during mobility week, cities set aside an area solely for pedestrians, cyclists and public transit that is ordinarily used by cars. Car Free Day is celebrated in 1,500 cities in 40 countries. This year World Car Free Day is on a Saturday.

Regional rollout occurred in 2008 with TPB support. COG’s Commuter Connections program promotes and organizes the annual Car Free Day event along with its network members. Invites Washington region citizens to try alternative forms of transportation such as transit, bicycling and walking. Includes car-lite methods such as carpooling.
