September 22nd, 2008
Galveston Railroad Museum (Strand @ 25th Street)
FREE ADMISSION
New International Event Coming To Galveston

Get out of your cars and onto your bike, feet, trolley or bus because World Carfree Day is on the way! On September 22, the world will catch a glimpse of an easier and more joyous way of life. All around the globe, sections of streets and plazas will be closed to cars and opened to events celebrating reasons to go car free.

On Galveston Island, we’re having a party at the Railroad Museum, 11am-1pm.

There will be music and fun and tee-shirts. We’ll celebrate the winners of a week-long Carfree Challenge, take a peak at an Amtrak car for a commuter rail connection to the mainland that could happen in the not too distant future, witness for real the downtown trolley keeping to a reliable and convenient schedule, be dazzled by velocoutre, and get up-close-and-personal with subscription sharing of electric bikes, scooters, Zipcars and other exciting ways to kick the car habit.

Join with your friends and neighbors to invent a future with cleaner air, better health, and greater economic vitality. Come to the party! Go carfree!
