For the seventh year, Keep Middlesex Moving, Inc., Middlesex County’s commuter services organization, has joined a worldwide movement to support Car Free Day on September 22, 2012. Car Free Day started in Iceland, England, and France in 1995 to raise awareness about the negative impacts motor vehicles have on our environment.
On Car Free Day, Sept. 22, 2012 or any day during the week of Sept. 16, KMM urges commuters to take the Car Free Pledge and recommends the following alternatives:
Use public transportation - a train, a bus, or light rail
Ride a bike or take a walk
