""Car-Free Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet-and that our streets play a critical role in our fight against climate change," NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn said."
""Transportation is the second-biggest source of carbon emissions in New York City, and finding ways to make clean transportation options quicker, easier, and more affordable is key.""
""We encourage all New Yorkers to come out to enjoy temporary public art, programming, music, and other activities at dozens of car-free streets around New York City.""
""First launched in 2016, Car-Free Earth Day originally converted select Manhattan streets into public plazas and car-free streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and local businesses.""
Car-Free Earth Day will take place on April 25, turning numerous streets into pedestrian plazas to promote climate change awareness and sustainable transportation. NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn emphasizes the importance of clean transportation options, as transportation is a major source of carbon emissions. The event will feature public art, music, and activities, encouraging New Yorkers to participate. Citi Bike will offer unlimited 30-minute rides for 24 hours, supporting the initiative. The event has expanded since its 2016 launch, now covering various locations across all five boroughs.
