Pledge for San Mateo County Week Without Driving 2024

Join a national effort to raise awareness of the 30% of Americans who do not have a drivers license.

Organized by America Walks, the 2024 dates are Monday, September 30th - Sunday, October 6th.

If you can drive, and can afford a car, this isn't something you think about. But for nearly a quarter of people in our country - people with disabilities, young people, seniors and people who can't afford cars or gas - this is our every day.

Having to drive during the challenge does not signify failure, the goal is to consider how someone without that option would have coped, and what choices they might have made.

As the week progresses, share your experiences with others on social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) with hashtag, #WeekWithoutDriving.

Pledge to forego driving Sept. 10-16th here, and receive tips on how to succeed at it:
