Car free day

​Car Free Day is an international event that encourages people to get around without using their car, highlighting bicycling, mass-transit, walking, and other alternative modes of transportation. However, some cities have extended the one car-free day per year, to a one car-free day per month. Paris, for example, bans cars on certain routes in the city on the first Sunday of every month. However, the very inspiration to this initiative comes from Bogotá, Colombia, with roots back to the 1970s when the government initiated car-free Sundays and holidays. This initiative has grown to a car-free week every year. These initiatives have been shown to improve safety and air quality, and increase physical activity and health benefits.
