Imagine navigating your community without being able to drive. How would you get to work, the grocery store, or a doctor’s appointment? For millions of people across our country, this is an everyday challenge. Missing sidewalks, unreliable transit, and car-centered infrastructure create barriers that limit independence, access to opportunities, and quality of life.
The Week Without Driving – September 29 to October 5 – invites people everywhere to experience what it’s like to shift from the driver’s seat to walking, bicycling, taking public transit, and using micromobility options, such as the Lime e-scooters and BCycle e-bikes we have in Boulder. This year, we’re excited to announce that Lime has stepped up as title sponsor for the Week Without Driving. The week marks a critical step toward recognizing and dismantling the barriers to mobility many face daily. For those who can use scooters, Lime is getting into the action by offering a special discount! Use the promo code AMERICAWALKS for 50% off rides all week, from September 29 through October 5.
Throughout the week, Boulder Chamber Transportation Connections will be sharing stories, reflections, and resources from our staff and community members that highlight the importance of accessible transportation for all. We invite you to join us in this powerful initiative, explore what it reveals about our transportation system, and take action to create a more connected Boulder.
