Mark your calendar to go “car free” or car “lite” on Thursday, September 22, 2016. Car Free Day is a worldwide event that encourages greener methods of travel by: mass transit, bicycling and walking to work. Carpooling and telework also count.

The Division of Amenities and Transportation Services (DATS) challenges you to find alternative commuting options and pledge to go car free on September 22. Talk to your co-workers about starting a carpool or vanpool. Try Metro. The Metro SafeTrack project will impact just a small area on the Orange Line in Virginia between Vienna and West Fall Church during September. The rest of the Metrorail system will be running at 100% with new and improved track work. This is a perfect time to explore your commuting options.
