Week Without Driving PGH uplifts the stories of nondrivers and invites us all to advocate for improved mobility options. Together, we can win better access for all!
Whether we live in a suburban town or city neighborhood, everyone in Allegheny County deserves safe, reliable, dignified access to the places we need to go. We’re inviting you – whether you are an individual, organization representative, or elected official- to take the pledge to experience life as a non-driver, and participate in the national Week without Driving from Monday, Sept 29th – Sunday Oct 5th 2025!
The Week without Driving is a national week of action that uplifts the experiences of non-drivers in our communities, and highlights the barriers and challenges non-drivers face. As youth, people with disabilities, older adults, or people who cannot drive or afford a car, non-drivers represent nearly a third of the population.
The #WeekWithoutDriving challenge was launched in 2021 by Anna Zivarts at Disability Rights Washington and is now a national initiative, led by America Walks and the National Campaign for Transit Justice.
My name is Bill Frisell. I’m a non-driver and I invite you to join me for the Week Without Driving PGH to advocate for improved mobility for all!
I’m Bill! I’m 76 and I live in Coraopolis. The Week Without Driving is important to me because the bus and ACCESS help me access not just my community, but Pittsburgh, Sewickley and wherever else I want to go. I wish more people would ride PRT. It is a convenience, and you meet new people, new friends, and new bus drivers.”
