Join the movement to go car-free in Macon on FRIDAY, May 24th!
By pledging to use alternative transportation (public transit, biking, or walking) or reduce your car use (ride-sharing, carpooling, or teleworking), you can explore new options, improve air quality, reduce emissions, save money, meet new people, and see your community from a different lens. Whether you're on your way to work, school, the park, or to run errands, Macon Car Free Day is a chance to see all the benefits of alternative transportation.
NOT SURE HOW TO GO CAR-FREE? CHECK OUT THIS SHORT VIDEO FROM WASHINGTON D.C. ABOUT USING TRANSIT, BIKING, WALKING OR WORKING FROM HOME (TELEWORKING).
