Seattle’s One Less Car Challenge — Carectomy - Removing Cars from People

Seattle’s One Less Car Challenge

seattle Seattles One Less Car Challenge

The City of Seattle is getting serious about reducing car traffic. The One Less Car Challenge encourages citizens to leave a vehicle at home, and offers some pretty hip incentives in return.

Households which forego use of one of their vehicles for one month, and have more drivers than cars, receive $50 in Flexcar use (a car-sharing company similar to Zipcar) and a discounted membership to the Cascade Bicycle Club. Participants willing to make a more permanent commitment can sell or donate one of their household’s vehicles so that the household has more drivers than cars. They must refrain from replacing that car for at least one year. Incentives for this “Level 2” commitment receive $600 in Flexcar use, a free membership to the Cascade Bicycle Club, and a free membership to the Bicycle Alliance of Washington.

From Seattle.gov:

Save money, be part of the transportation solution and reduce stress! Help our City reduce one million miles of car trips!

The One Less Car Challenge gives you a taste of living with one less car. There are two ways to participate in the One Less Car Challenge. In Level 1 you’ll go on a "car diet" for a month by not driving one of your cars, or your only car. You may prove to yourself that you don’t need that car after all! If you sell your extra car or your only car you’ll get even bigger incentives through Level 2, and save yourself thousands of dollars a year!

The coolest part of this initiative – it’s created, funded, and promoted by Seattle’s city administration. Carectomies are becoming government policy! Seattle’s city website also offers tips for regional Carfree Getaways.
