Did you know that roughly 30% of people can't drive? What if, just for one week, you experienced your daily life without relying on a car? How might it change your perspective on the way our community moves?

Sign up for the challenge by going to weekwithoutdriving.org

The Week Without Driving is an educational opportunity for decision makers and individuals to experience and empathize with experience of millions of people who do not drive due to age, income, disability or other barriers. You can drive or ride in a car during the week, the point is to try other options and to recognize where there are barriers for people who cannot drive.

This year, Walk & Roll is hosting several walks and will be sharing non-driving routes to get around Bellingham. Please join us in whatever capacity you wish to. Your participation can bring fresh perspectives and valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within our transportation ecosystem. Your voice matters in this conversation, especially if you regularly don’t drive. We are providing opportunities to share your story, and to reimagine what transportation options could look like in our community. See below for more event details.
