Celebrate Massachusetts Car-Free Week!

What is Massachusetts Car-Free Week?

Massachusetts joins over 1,000 cities in 40 countries globally to celebrate World Car-Free Day on September 22. World Car-Free Day began in Europe and has spread around the world as a way to promote the environmental, financial, community, and health benefits of using public transportation, carpooling, bicycling, walking, and teleworking.

This year, The Merrimack Valley TMA is joining with MassCommute and MassDOT to celebrate all week (September 18 – 24, 2011) by sponsoring an online promotion that includes the opportunity for people who commute Car-Free to win great prizes.
