NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Starting this weekend, more than two dozen people in The Nations neighborhood have been pledging to leave their cars at home for one week.
They’re calling it “Don’t Car Week,” and beyond helping get more cars off the road, folks at The Nations Neighborhood Association said they want to see what it's like using the transportation options that have been there for people who can't or don't want to use cars to get around.
It’s all in an effort to note what’s good and bad about the experience, and eventually improve those transportation options in the area.
“We can't do that until we've all taken the time to say, ‘We've taken transit, we've taken bikes to work, we know the dangers here, we know the pitfalls there,'” said Jamie Brown with the neighborhood association.
"Don't Car Week" has been set to wrap up with a Transit Race from downtown on Friday.
