POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI)– The Idaho Walk Bike Alliance (IWBA) has partnered with national pedestrian-advocacy organization America Walks to bring a ‘Week Without Driving’ to the Portneuf Valley.
IWBA and America Walks are challenging Pocatellans to use their cars as little as possible from Monday, September 29, to Sunday, October 5, and opt, instead, for walking, biking, or public transportation.
“This week gives you a glimpse into how many things you can do without actually getting in your vehicle, and you still get to a lot of the places you want to get to,” said ‘Cowboy’ Ted Hallisey, with IWBA. “…We’re just encouraging people to give it a shot and see what it’s like to go one week without driving… if you can’t go one week, try a day, try a couple days, and just enjoy human-powered transportation in Idaho.”…
