World Car Free Day, which is Friday, is an initiative encouraging motorists to explore alternatives to driving like public transit, helping to decrease road congestion and vehicle emissions.
“There’s never been a better time to experience the ease and convenience of public transportation,” said Maryland Transit Administrator Holly Arnold in news release. “Public transit is an ideal way to experience all the region has to offer, and it’s an important tool in our efforts to decrease our carbon footprint.”
