Car Free Day 2022

Drop your car keys for a day and participate in the Car Free Day 2022 on Thursday, September 22, 2022! Use public transit, carpool/vanpool (car-lite), bike, scooter, walk, or telework.

Car Free Day is a worldwide event that encourages greener methods of travel; meaning ways to get around other than driving alone by car. Commuter Connections hosts Car Free Day in the Washington, DC region to bring awareness to the benefits of travel options such as transit, bicycling and walking; and also telework for people who can work from home. Carpooling and vanpooling count too, we call that “car-lite” since they are both lighter on the wallet and the environment than driving alone in a car.

All are welcome to take the Car Free Day pledge whether you’re a Washington DC area resident, commuter, or student. Once you take the Online Pledge, we will automatically enter you into a raffle for all sorts of great prizes!

As a thank you, all who take the Car Free Day pledge will receive a confirmation email with a $30 Nift Gift (neighborhood gift) online Promo Code. With the Nift app, discover great local businesses in neighborhoods where you live or work.
