Join the conversation with CPBS about improving transportation systems for nondrivers

Join our consortium partners at the Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS) and guest speakers on Wednesday, May 14 at 11am PST to discuss how the mobility needs of nondrivers in the United States are not being met due to roadways being largely designed for cars.


When driving is not an option: Community access for nondrivers

Description

One third of people living in the United States do not have a driver license. The majority of involuntary nondrivers are disabled, lower income, unhoused, formerly incarcerated, undocumented immigrants, kids, young people, and the elderly. They are also largely invisible due to a mobility system designed almost exclusively for drivers. When Driving is Not an Option shines a light on the reality for nondrivers and explains how improving our transportation system with nondrivers in mind will create a better quality of life for everyone.
