Your input will help make next year’s event even better!

The official Week Without Driving for 2026 is done. One follow-up from the national Nondrivers Alliance organization this year was the recognition of a number of elected officials with superlatives. It is notable that while the total number of sign-ups in PA this year increased by a factor of 10 to over 200, the number of people who indicated they were elected officials merely doubled to 2! Perhaps it is too much of a commitment for people or something they feel would be too risky in the event that they aren’t able to accomplish it? It must be acknowledged, after all, that participating in WWD can be a challenge, one that puts us in mind of the ongoing challenges of everyone living in car-dependent places and of non-drivers living in a car-oriented society.

The dates for the 2027 observance have already been set. Mark your calendar for Thursday, September 30, to Wednesday, October 6.
