Car Free Day 9/22

September 21, 2015

Long Island Communities Embrace Car Free Day – September 22

Commuters, students and residents can pledge to go car free or car-lite at the Car Free Day LI website (www.carfreedayli.com). Whether commuting to work or school, or running errands around town, using your car less qualifies for participation in Car Free Day LI. Even those who are already using commute alternatives can take the pledge.

Participants are eligible to win raffle prizes including commuter bikes, gift cards, and theater and sports tickets.

Farmingdale’s momentum since last week’s Car Free Day Rally is strong.  Winning bragging rights for the most number of pledges over sister colleges would be a worthy achievement.
