SUMMARY:Week Without Driving
DESCRIPTION:Schuylkill Connects is excited to announce we have been awarded a “Week Without Driving” mini-grant from America Walks!  Learn more here WWD Schuylkill Press Release ( https://www.schuylkillconnects.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WWD-Schuylkill-Press-Release.pdf )\nThe Week Without Driving is an initiative promoted nationally by AmericaWalks , in Pennsylvania by the Transit for All PA coalition, and in Schuylkill County by Schuylkill Connects (in partnership with Schuylkill Transportation System ( https://go-sts.com/ )).\nThe campaign raises awareness of the often-ignored need for a range of transportation options for people who do not drive. It highlights the value of safe, accessible, and inviting connected networks for people traveling on foot, in a wheelchair, by bike, or on public transit. This year, it will take place across the country from Monday, September 29, through Sunday, October 5.\nJoin our Schuylkill Week Without Driving Scavenger Hunt to learn more about active transportation and experience navigating the county without a car.\n\nPDF if flyer can be found here: WWD Scavenger Hunt Flyer ( https://www.schuylkillconnects.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WWD-Scavenger-Hunt-Flyer.pdf )\nLearn more about Week Without Driving through our Magic 105.5 and WMGH FM Tamaqua interview with Kim the Morning Chick!\n\nhttps://www.schuylkillconnects.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Week-Without-Driving-093025.mp3 ( https://www.schuylkillconnects.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Week-Without-Driving-093025.mp3 )\n*Connects correction: nearly a 3rd of individuals in the United States don’t drive because they don’t have a car and/or due to other reasons like disabilities, being young, seniors, or can’t afford a car and upkeep.\nCheck out our WFMZ interview ( https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/poconos-coal/week-without-driving-initiative-underway-in-schuylkill-county/article_8d5a236b-9495-4e62-8b07-d083343560e8.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawNlzC9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFpaUFUTXRKVmNHdkhGeWV4AR5vsYBCD6SCrLY_JqWwXhGhoSZ5jODBxvv2MmgaaB7AcgwH0QMji8I5beOJUQ_aem_S4mXigi-Gt7vpHSCLnIPpQ ) about the AmericaWalks Week Without Driving grant Connects received to conduct activities during Week Without Driving.\nThank you to local news outlets for coverage: Skook News ( https://www.skooknews.com/2025/09/schuylkill-connects-to-host-week.html ), Coal Region Canary ( https://coalregioncanary.com/2025/09/22/schuylkill-connects-week-without-driving/ ), and Shenandoah Sentinel ( https://shensentinel.com/news/a-week-without-driving-try-it-says-schuylkill-connects/ )\nRegister for our newsletter ( https://stats.sender.net/forms/dBBv2x/view ) for updates about Week Without Driving and other Schuylkill on the Move initiatives!\n \n \n \n
