For many in Montgomery County—and across the U.S.—driving is not a given. Nearly a third of Americans, including people with disabilities, seniors, young people, and those who can’t afford a car or gas, rely on walking, rolling, public transit, or asking for rides every day.
To help residents understand these experiences firsthand, Montgomery County is joining the Week Without Driving initiative. The program encourages people who usually drive to go a full week without using a car themselves and reflect on the challenges nondrivers face.
