The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and Transit Forward Philadelphia are proud to co-host this year’s Week Without Driving PHL, taking place September 29 – October 5, 2025.

What is it?
Week Without Driving encourages people to commit to not driving for the week and see what it’s like to navigate our streets without a car.

For as many as one third of Americans, this isn’t a challenge—it’s everyday life. People with disabilities, young people, seniors, and those who can’t afford a car or gas already rely on walking, rolling, biking, public transit, or catching rides with others to get where they need to go. The Week Without Driving is a great way to better understand and advocate for the transit that Philly deserves. By stepping into the shoes of nondrivers, even just for a week, participants can learn firsthand about the barriers and challenges people face, and work together to make our city and region more accessible for everyone.
