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? Many of us have experienced the challenges of not driving and finding it difficult to navigate and explore without a car.
One third of people living in the United States do not have a driver license. The majority of involuntary nondrivers are disabled, lower income, unhoused, formerly incarcerated, undocumented immigrants, kids, young people, and the elderly. They are also largely invisible due to a mobility system designed almost exclusively for drivers.
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.
During this event, Zivarts will explain that when the needs of involuntary nondrivers are viewed as essential to how we design our transportation systems and our communities, not only will we be able to more easily get where we need to go, but the changes will lead to healthier, climate-friendly communities for everyone.
Join our discussion with author Anna Zivarts 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.
