Everyone deserves to move through Dallas safely, regardless of how they travel. Through Dallas Week Without Driving, we're raising funds for Better Block for their Better Intersections initiative - a community-driven initiative that helps neighborhoods test people-first street improvements before permanent investments are made. Your donation helps transform dangerous intersections into safer, more accessible spaces for people walking, biking, rolling, and using public transit.
This fall, Dallas will once again join cities across the country for Week Without Driving, a growing national movement that challenges individuals - including community leaders, elected officials, and residents - to navigate daily life without relying on a personal vehicle.
Never taken public transit before? Or are you new to Dallas? This guide offers everything you need to navigate the city without a car. This series was designed for first-time participants in the Week Without Driving challenge, as well as anyone looking to reduce their reliance on cars.
Week Without Driving started in Washington State in 2021 with Anna Zivarts, Director of Disability Mobility Initiative, at Rights Washington. In 2023, America Walks helped take it national. That year, 140+ groups in 41 states and D.C. joined. In 2024, it grew to over 520 groups in all 50 states and D.C.
