Description
One third of people living in the United States do not have a driver's license. This group includes individuals who are disabled, lower-income, unhoused, formerly incarcerated, undocumented immigrants, children, young people, and the elderly.
The consequence of this invisibility is a mobility system designed almost exclusively for drivers, which has human-health, environmental, and quality-of-life costs for everyone. To address climate change and inequality, it's essential to rethink our transportation system.
In "When Driving Is Not an Option", disability advocate Anna Zivarts explores how improving our transportation system with nondrivers in mind can create a better quality of life for everyone. She shares insights from interviews with involuntary nondrivers and her own experience, highlighting the need for changes such as improved sidewalk connectivity, reliable transit, and affordable housing options.
