WEEK WITHOUT DRIVING
Oct 1 - Oct 8 2026
Join North Bay riders, organizers, and ask your elected leaders to go a week without driving , in order to reveal what works, what breaks, and what needs to change in our transportation infrastructure.
October 1- October 8 2026
North Bay campaign week
The Week Without Driving Challenge is a national, annual event highlighting the barriers faced by those who can’t or don’t drive. The challenge invites elected leaders, municipal staff and community members to go about their daily lives – commuting, shopping, attending meetings – without driving themselves. Public transit, walking, biking and having someone else chauffeur are all encouraged. Elected leaders shape the systems that either include or exclude. By experiencing a week without driving, leaders can identify gaps, build empathy, and make informed, inclusive transportation decisions.
Use these links to send an email to your city and county elected leaders, challenging them to go a week without driving.
