Join us for the Week Without Driving challenge from Monday, Sept. 29 to Sunday, Oct. 5! @spokanecity.org @americawalks.bsky.social #WeekWithoutDriving

The latest attack on multimodal transportation is more brazen and destructive than ever before — and the Trump administration is no longer hiding its disdain for walking and biking projects.

Sept. 25 WEBINAR: #Nondrivers deserve to be part of the transportation conversation... So let's talk about it ⤵️ Join Community Design + Nondrivers: Connecting All of Us to explore how to build healthier, more accessible communities for all ➡️ buff.ly/6fTNW34#Acti...

These projects will encourage people to walk rather than drive, lowering our transport emissions. This is the power of local-level action. Great work! 🚶 💪 #climatepolicy #cities #walking #transit #sustainability #climatechange #runonclimate

Most of our communities are built for cars, not people… But it shouldn’t be that way. What is the toughest part about navigating your community without a car? Let us know + sign up for #WeekWithoutDriving on September 29–October 5, 2025! buff.ly/CGrb9I2
