You have the freedom to leave your car behind.

Each participant in the Car-Free Challenge eliminates at least one car trip per week. When you do this, you will be making a healthy lifestyle choice. You'll save money as gas prices skyrocket, and you'll be free of traffic and parking hassles.

Reducing your car use is the most significant action you can take to benefit the environment. By driving less, you help improve air quality, curb global warming, reduce energy consumption and decrease traffic congestion. Sign up for the Car-Free Challenge, and you'll:

• Save money on gas.

• Be secure during oil supply uncertainty.

• Become more active.

• Have fun trying new ways to get around.

•    Get a chance to win prizes.

• Meet participants and celebrate at our Awards Event.

You’ll keep a simple log of all your travel for 2 weeks. In the process, you’ll learn a lot about your driving habits and have some fun trying new things. The Car-Free Challenge applies to ALL trips you make using ANY mode of transportation other than driving alone.This includes commuting as well as shopping, errands and social activities.
