2026 Week Without Driving

About Week Without Driving (WWD)

Week Without Driving is a growing movement led by a diverse coalition of local organizations, advocates, government agencies, and elected leaders across the U.S. and beyond. The campaign began in 2021, when Anna Zivarts at Disability Rights Washington launched the Week Without Driving so that policy makers, elected leaders and transportation professionals could begin to understand the barriers nondrivers experienced in accessing their communities. 

How can you join WWD?
