Chicagoland Car-Free Day is everywhere!

Check out what kind of Chicagoland Car-Free celebrations are happening in your town.

List your event here! If you have something planned, let us know.

I-Go Car Sharing discount
For one month, beginning on Chicagoland Car-Free Day, the local non-profit will offer $25 discounted memberships to event participants who refrain from driving on Sept. 22. (Or who, better yet, sell their cars in favor of sustainable, eco-friendly transportation options.). More here.

Green Parent Chicago car-free play date
Celebrate Chicagoland Car-Free Day and join Green Parent Chicago for a car-free play date at one of the city's most easily accessible and beautiful parks: Seneca Playlot Park. More here.

Break the Gridlock Car-Free Celebration
The idea is that we spread love and thanks for walkers, bikers, skaters, bladers, transit users etc. downtown. . . . and encourage the drivers hitting the highway ramps to join us next time. Details to follow. Let me know if you want to help organize. More here.

A Loyola Bike club volunteer will be offering coffee to students who leave their car at home. More here.
