The Car-Free Day

Car Free Day is a day on which the use of automobiles and other motor vehicles is to be restricted.


In the 1950s and 1970s, the authorities decreed car-free days when there was a threat of a shortage of oil supplies. Since the end of the 1980s, Car-Free Day has been a day of action linked to the demand for a change in transport, initiated and supported by various organizations and environmental associations. It takes place annually on September 22nd.


The idea of not using a car for one day a year is already supported by almost all countries in the European Union and by most municipalities and cities. At the moment, this day of action is intended to raise awareness of climate-friendly mobility and support the demand for an environmentally friendly transport transition.

Thousands of municipalities in Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria, as well as in other countries, have issued similar calls. Many cities and towns are closing their centers to all motorized traffic for the duration of this day, giving priority to bicycles and pedestrians, and supporting the idea by offering free public transport, among other things.
