For the past seven days, people across Durham left the keys at home and got where they needed to go by bus, bike, foot, and wheel.

Some went the full week. Some took a single trip. We hope everybody learn something, either about Durham or about themselves. We think many realized moving through this city without a car is harder than it should be.

More than a third of people in this country don’t drive, whether by circumstance, cost, age, or ability. When those of us who do have the choice step into their experience, even for a week, we start making different decisions about the streets and systems we all share.

Thank you to every neighbor who gave it a real effort. Thank you to GoTriangle for championing this effort. And thank you to the elected officials who joined us and pledged to try not driving, who showed up to see firsthand what their constituents navigate every day. That kind of leadership is how change starts.

The week is over, but the work isn’t. The barriers people face didn’t end today, and neither does our push to build a Durham where everyone can move around safely, affordably, and with dignity, no car required.

THIS is what we mean when we talk about open streets!!!

For one afternoon, we saw what's possible when you take the cars out of the equation. That's what Bike Durham wants us to experience: a city designed for people of all transportation methods, not just for cars.

A huge thank you to the teams who made Sundays Move-A-Bull event happen: Bike Durham, the City of Durham, and the Durham County Department of Public Health. And to every vendor, performer, and instructor who filled those eight zones with life. The forecast threatened to wash us out, but you came out anyway, and we're so grateful you did.

To our sponsors, thank you for believing a people-first Durham is worth building:
WRAL and Fox 50, our exclusive media partners. American To***co Campus, The Forest at Duke, Duke Health, CityBuilder, Revel, CHWR, We The People, Spin, Alta, and Atria Southpoint Walk.

This is what we're working toward, all year long. Streets that belong to people. If Sunday showed you something, help us keep it going.

Move-A-Bull City is TOMORROW, and Durham wanted to offer up a little fun...

They made official MABC passports!

Here's how it works: grab one, then make your way through all 8 zones along the corridor.

At each zone, look for the A-frame sign and punch your passport with that zone's one-of-a-kind hole punch. Every zone has a different shape, so you've gotta hit them all.

Fill up your passport, bring it to Discover Durham, and claim your prize. 🏆

Where to grab a passport:
- Durham Visitor Info Center
- The Bike Durham table
- Volunteers at the intersections (limited, so grab one early)

8 zones. 8 punches.

Move-A-Bull City | Sunday, Oct 4 | Noon–4pm | FREE

See you out there.

Transportation shapes who gets to participate in society.

About 1/3 of Americans are non drivers. This could be due to income inequality, having a disability, age restrictions, or simply choosing not to drive.

We want to encourage you all to navigate your community, without a car, for just one week.

Reflect on the potential challenges and insights during your journey and share them with us if you’d like!

And if you want to pledge along with us and some Durham elected officials, please check the link in our bio. Share this post with your friends and family!
