Car Free Fridays

Together, let’s reduce the number of single occupant car trips!

It’s easy to participate, the name says it all.

Our main focus this year is the Car Free Calculator. Plug in your miles and see the good you are doing.

Sign up and start tracking the miles you bike and walk to commute, run errands, and shop instead of drive. The Calculator is about much more than just tracking our car free miles, it’s another form of advocacy — a way for us to show government, business, and civic leaders that better conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists are an important matter for people in our region. To check it out and sign up go to carfreecalculator.com

As we hit certain milestones we will award raffle prizes from local businesses to random winners to celebrate our success. We’re a team in this effort. A few miles here and there may not seem like much to you, but it means a lot to the health and vibrancy of our region.

Keep an eye on the totals, and have fun tracking your own individual miles. We’ll be rolling out improvements in the coming months so stay tuned!
