Starting Friday, October 7, Santa Monica residents, workers, and businesses will kick off the very first Car Free Friday by giving cars a day off and using sustainable ways to get to work, school, or happy hour. By providing incentives, tips, and support for people to walk, bike, train, or bus once a week, the City of Santa Monica hopes to make it easy and safe for people to make the shift to being car-free and carefree more often.
