World Car-Free Day is an annual event celebrated across the globe that encourages traveling in ways that are more Climate-Smart than driving alone, such as walking, riding a bicycle, bus or teleworking. Residents are encouraged to take the regional pledge online to participate in Car-Free Day and be entered into raffles for prizes such as gift cards, an annual Capital Bikeshare membership and a pre-funded SmartTrip card. Duplicate entries will be disqualified. Participants can take the pledge at carfreemetrodc.org/pledge-page.

Each registrant will also receive a Capital Bikeshare 24-hour regional pass for unlimited 45-minute rides for the day. On the morning of Car Free Day, the MCDOT Commuter Services outreach teams will be distributing free giveaways and regional pledge registrations for the raffle drawing at Metro stations in the County and other locations. For details on which locations around the County will have these events please visit the Commuter Services website.
