When Driving Is Not An Option

Wednesday July 17

2:00 PM  –  3:00 PM

Disability Pride Month highlights making spaces and services accessible to the needs of a diverse population. When traveling in the US, driving is often the only option and nondrivers disproportionally face accessibility challenges.  

In her new book, When Driving Is Not An Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency, disability advocate Anna Zivarts argues that improvements to transportation systems must keep nondrivers in mind. Join Zivarts as she presents her new book and learn how prioritizing this group can also lead to healthier, climate-friendly options for everyone.
