Car Free Day Webinar

SRTC partners with the Spokane Regional Health District, the Lands Council, the Commute Trip Reduction program, the YMCA and YWCA and several other agencies and individuals for a 'non-motorized' group that meets usually once a week.

Recently, the topic of 'car free days' have come up several times. Car Free Days are aimed at taking a number of cars off the streets of a city or neighborhood for a day, in order to give the people who live and work there a chance to see how it might look and work with fewer cars.

Seattle and Portland have both had car free days, as have countries like Spain, France, and Colombia. To explore if a car free day (or series of them) are feasible in our area, we will host a webinar this Wednesday, May 20 from 12-1 p.m. to see how other communities have gone about organizing them.
