What Is World Car-Free Day?

World Car-Free Day is a global initiative encouraging people to reduce their reliance on motor vehicles for a day and explore more sustainable modes of transportation.

Observed annually on 22 September, it promotes walking, cycling, public transportation, and other eco-friendly alternatives while advocating for cleaner air, healthier lifestyles, and more liveable urban spaces.

This day encourages individuals, businesses, and governments to explore and support car-free living by closing roads to traffic and promoting the benefits of a less car-dependent world. It’s an opportunity to reclaim public spaces for people rather than vehicles and envision a future with cleaner, quieter, and safer streets.
