According to this Wilshire Center Earth Day event, April 22nd has been declared, by The City of Los Angeles, Car-Free Day. There are two movements linked from that page, the first being the World Car-Free Network. They have a long history and have developed the base that many other movements have built upon. Way back in 2000 Bogota, Columbia (yes, that Bogota) had their very first Car-Free Day based on the tenets of the World Car-Free Network. The second link is to Car Free Days, a newer organization with more of an environmental slant. We are excited to see what happens here in Los Angeles, which is hopefully something.
