From www.sunrideshare.org:

Tucson will again join in the celebration for World Car Free Day onSeptember 22. Sun Rideshare and Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) promote Car Free Day in an effort to get area drivers to leave their cars at home and try an alternative mode of transportation. Alternative transportation reduces pollution, traffic congestion, and energy consumption, as well as promotes a more active, healthy lifestyle.

This year participants will qualify for the prize drawings by logging in their car free trips in the Sun Rideshare Travel Calendar.  Only one car free trip is needed to possibly win:  

  • E-reader
  • Gift cards: (2) $100, (1) $50
  • Sun Rideshare gift package

All trips must be logged in by 8:00 am on September 23 to qualify for the prize drawing.  All trips logged will also earn points in the Sun Rideshare Rewards Program.
