Let’s make September 22 a day with fewer cars and cleaner air.
Car-Free Day is a global movement to cut down solo car trips, reduce traffic, and help the planet. Here’s how employers and city leaders can make it countβ€”and keep it going after the day is over.


🎯 Goal

Reduce drive-alone trips on Sept 22.
Then keep the momentum going with smart, simple changes.


βœ… What Employers & Cities Can Do

πŸš— Preferred Parking

Reserve the best parking spots for employees who carpool.
It’s a simple way to reward green choices.

🎁 Incentives & Rewards

Give carpoolers small perks like:

These rewards show appreciation and boost participation.

πŸ“’ Awareness Campaign
