Week Without Driving

Schuylkill Connects is excited to announce we have been awarded a “Week Without Driving” mini-grant from America Walks!

The 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).

The 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.

Additional details about a Schuylkill County active transportation scavenger hunt, Schuylkill County proclamation, and more will be added to this event soon!  Check back often and register for our newsletter for updates!

In the meantime, consider signing up for National updates here and taking the Pennsylvania pledge here!
