Thank you to all of our partners and participants who made Strive Not to Drive 2025 such a success! Stay tuned for 2026 info, and reach out if you’d like to be involved!
Strive Not to Drive was started by Asheville advocates in the 1980’s, but has since grown to encompass all five counties in the Land of Sky region.
The purpose of the week is to encourage people in Western North Carolina to reconsider how they get around the region. Check out the video above to see how it went in 2025!
Thank you to all of our 2025 Strive Not to Drive partners!
