This September 29 – October 5, participate in Lexington's Week Without Driving challenge! In communities across the country, including Lexington, many residents cannot or do not drive due to age, income, ability, or other factors. Week Without Driving is a national initiative that invites drivers to experience the barriers that non drivers in our community face every day, while connecting with others to imagine a future where alternatives to driving are safe, pleasant, and easy for everyone. Participating is simple: if you drive regularly, try to replace as many car trips as you can during the week with other options, and if those options aren't accessible or don't exist, talk to your neighbors and elected officials about it! Learn about events happening during the week and how to get involved at livingstreetslex.org/weekwithoutdriving, and learn about the national movement at weekwithoutdriving.org.
If alternatives to driving, especially public transit, are something you care about, you can also apply for the upcoming Transit Advocacy Academy. Join Living Streets Lexington, Fayette Alliance, and Lextran to learn about public transit in Lexington and strategies for effective advocacy, and connect with other people in Lexington who care about improving transportation options. Applications open September 23. Learn more at livingstreetslex.org/transitadvocacyacademy.
