Bike Fitchburg, in partnership with the Greater Madison Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC), and AARP Wisconsin, is hosting a Community Discussion as part of the Week Without Driving.

The event will bring people together to talk about transportation equity and accessibility. Inspired by Anna Zivarts’ book When Driving Is Not An Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency, the discussion will explore how car dependency impacts people with disabilities, older adults, young people, and others who can’t drive—and what it takes to build communities where everyone can get around safely and independently.

The event will feature a hybrid panel discussion moderated by Greater Madison MPO Board Member and City of Fitchburg Alder Bill Jetzer.
