๐ŸŒ Car-Free Day, Sept 22: Carpool Playbook

Letโ€™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 countโ€”and keep it going after the day is over.


๐ŸŽฏ Goal

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


โœ… What Employers & Cities Can Do

๐Ÿš— Preferred Parking

Reserve the best parking spots for employees who carpool.
Itโ€™s a simple way to reward green choices.

๐ŸŽ Incentives & Rewards

Give carpoolers small perks like:

  • Free coffee or snacks
  • Lunch coupons
  • Thank-you certificates

These rewards show appreciation and boost participation.

๐Ÿ“ข Awareness Campaign

Spread the word with:

  • Posters in common areas
  • Reminder emails
  • Slack or Teams messages

Encourage employees to pledge a car-free commute.

๐Ÿ“Š Tracking & Storytelling

Use the sRide app to track:

  • Number of carpools
  • COโ‚‚ saved
  • Traffic stress reduced

Then share the results:
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ โ€œ100 cars off the road today!โ€
๐ŸŽ‰ Celebrate success and encourage continued carpooling.


โœ… Keep the Momentum Going

Car-Free Day is just the start.
With the right support, carpooling can become a year-round habit.

Learn how companies use carpooling to cut costs, reduce carbon, and support employees.

Letโ€™s drive changeโ€”together.
