Building Empathy through Experience

The Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization has taken on the charge to act as the host for Hawaii's participation in the #weekwithoutdriving challenge. This effort intends to provide an opportunity for car drivers to see from pedestrian, cyclist, and bus rider perspectives. Do you think you can do it? We know you can!

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Anna Zivarts, disabled activist and author of When Driving Is Not An Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency, as she shares her lived experience navigating a world designed for drivers.

As the kickoff to Week Without Driving, Anna will speak to the challenges and opportunities of creating communities where everyone can thrive—whether or not they drive.

Don’t miss this powerful start to a week of reflection, learning, and action toward more inclusive, accessible transportation for all.
