When driving is not an option: Steering away from car dependency. An Urban Design Group presentation

Anna Zivarts is a low-vision parent, nondriver and author of When Driving Is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency (Island Press, 2024). Anna created the #WeekWithoutDriving challenge and is passionate about bringing the voices of nondrivers to the planning and policy-making tables.

When Driving is Not an Option shines a light on the reality for nondrivers and explains how improving transportation systems with nondrivers in mind will create a better quality of life for everyone. This book is written by a low-vision parent, disability advocate, and fellow nondriver Anna Letitia Zivarts.
Zivarts explains 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. To inspire action, Zivarts demonstrates how communities across the United States are using the Week Without Driving challenge to build consensus around the urgent need for more inclusive and accessible communities. © Anna Letitia Zivarts
