Background: Car Free Day started in 2000 and has become an international event with 1,500 cities in 40 countries participating.  Car Free Day is a simple concept: people simply pledge to leave their car at home for the day and travel using the train, bus, bicycle, foot, wheelchair or any other option to get to play, learn, work and shop. People can also go “car lite” by carsharing or carpooling.
