October 25, 2023

World Car-Free Day 2023 was a huge success! Organized in a variety of ways around the globe, every event shared the unifying goal of reducing the number of cars on the road. TransAction Associates’ clients participated in MassCommute's 2023 Car-Free Day, the Commonwealth’s Coalition of 15 TMAs to promote and celebrate Car-Free Day in Massachusetts. Commuters who participated helped to make a positive impact on the environment and contributed to a greener Bay State!

MassCommute urged everyone to Take the Pledge to travel to work using an eco-friendly mode of transportation on September 22nd. Modes included walking, biking, riding a shuttle, carpooling, using public transit, or teleworking.  


With a tremendous total of 2,165 car-free participants, Massachusetts residents who joined MassCommute’s Car-Free Day saved:

  • 34,046 miles
  • 1,361.84 gallons of fuel
  • $17,703.71 in cost savings


The most used green mode of transportation was Public Transit.


Everyone did their part to reduce their carbon footprint by removing 26,419.24 lbs of Greenhouse Gases from the environment!


TransAction Associates’ clients had a 107% increase in participation compared to 2022’s Car-Free Day, resulting in 5,903.94 more pounds of greenhouse gas emissions being reduced this year. Let’s beat our record in 2024!
