When Driving is Not an Option

Have you ever wondered how people manage to get around without access to a car? Have you considered what measures are in place in your community to ensure everyone has access to reliable transportation options beyond driving? Did you know approximately one-third of Americans don't drive?

When Driving is Not an Option shines a light on the reality for non-drivers and explains how improving our transportation system with nondrivers in mind will create a better quality of life for everyone. This book is written by a low-vision mom, disability advocate, and fellow non-driver Anna Letitia Zivarts.

Join our discussion and learn how disability advocates are working in transportation advocacy to create accessible communities. This is a conversation essential for anyone interested in fostering inclusive and sustainable transportation solutions for nondrivers across the country.
