Join the worldwide movement to celebrate sustainable transportation on Car Free Day
Car Free Day is a free international event celebrated every
September
in which people are encouraged to get around without driving alone in cars and instead ride a train, bus, subway, bicycle, carpool, vanpool, or walk. For those that have the ability to work from home or drive an electric vehicle, EV’s and telework also counts. Car Free Day is open to anyone who lives or works in the Hudson Valley.
In 2018, more than 1,250 Hudson Valley Commuters went car free on Car Free Day. Help make Car Free Day 2019 a great success. To participate, just fill out the pledge form, then go car free or go car-lite on Friday, September 20th. It’s that simple! 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
free pledge form
