World Car-Free Day 2025: Advocate Calls for Affordable Vehicles for All
World Car-Free Day, observed annually on September 22, encourages people to explore alternative modes of transport. This year, it coincides with a call for affordable vehicles to benefit low-income and minority communities, as argued by Ben Lieberman, a CEI Senior Fellow.
Ben Lieberman, author of 'The Car as Freedom Machine', believes personal motor vehicles have significantly improved the quality of life for millions of Americans. He argues that affordable vehicles expand freedom and benefit low-income and minority communities the most. Lieberman, a Senior Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, supports personal automobility and its benefits.
On World Car-Free Day, people worldwide are encouraged to leave their cars at home and try walking, cycling, or public transport for the day. The event aims to raise awareness of the impact of cars on the environment and promote sustainable travel options.
Ben Lieberman's advocacy for affordable personal transportation aligns with this year's World Car-Free Day. While the event promotes car-free alternatives, Lieberman's work highlights the importance of accessible vehicles for disadvantaged communities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the freedom and benefits that personal mobility brings.
