On Day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving there were some short bike rides to the gym, work, and then tennis lessons (thanks to DPR for the amazing program!), and a nice long walk to the Resevoir District park on this cool morning with the pupper.

It was a great space to discuss the current Week Without Driving challenge and the progress DC is making, from the increasing enforcement of dangerous drivers through the STEER Act and steps we’re taking to move closer to Vision Zero.

DC Transportation Equity Network’s #WeekWithoutDriving reminds us not everyone drives. Sidewalks, bike & bus lanes, & WMATA make DC one of the most connected cities in the US. Let’s keep investing in a safe, accessible network for people of all ages/abilities.🚶‍♀️🚲🚍 @ggwash.org
