We're embracing the #WeekWithoutDriving! From September 30-October 6th, we’ll be giving up driving and joining the millions of people who travel across their communities by walking/rolling, cycling, public transit or other modes of transportation.
Together, we can foster safer, connected, #accessible communities for all. Are you ready to see the difference a week can make? Share your experiences, the barriers you've encountered, thoughts, feelings, and best practices on the ModeShift Kalamazoo General Discussion Group.
