Description
Car Free Day is a free event celebrated internationally every September and will be observed on September 23 this year. Commuters and residents in the Washington, DC region are encouraged to participate in Car Free Day by working from home or choosing alternative modes of transportation, such as biking, walking, scootering or public transit, for the day. To join the fun and make a positive environmental impact, fill out the free pledge form at https://www.carfreemetrodc.org. Whether you're already car-free or looking to explore alternative options, take the pledge to go car-free or car-lite (carpool, vanpool) that day. Every participant helps promote a cleaner, greener commute! Those who take the free pledge will be entered into a free raffle for a chance to win great prizes! Already car free? That’s great, and since you’re doing the right thing, you also get the same chance to win prizes when you fill out the pledge form. Car Free Day is organized in various cities throughout the world in different ways, but with the common goal of improving air quality. The benefit to a greater society is a day with less traffic congestion, a greener environment, and reduced gasoline demand. Today, Car Free Day includes celebrations in 46 countries and over 2,000 cities. Take the free pledge today!
