Strive to Not DriveSave time. Save energy. Save money. Spend them on living. Transportation Demand Management Project
As part of Groundwork Denver’s ongoing Denver Climate Challenge, the Strive to Not Drive project is using a unique individualized marketing approach to inspire and incentivize residents to save time and energy by walking, biking or riding transit instead of driving alone. Added community benefits are reduced traffic, increased air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions in Northwest Denver.
Participating residents will:
Neighborhoods participating in Strive to Not Drive include:
The City of Denver’s Public Works Department has dubbed this area the Northwest Travel Shed, loosely bordered by Sheridan Boulevard and Harlan Street to the west, 52nd Avenue to the north, I-25 to the east and Colfax Avenue to the south. Five major arterial roads run through this travel shed, including I-70, Federal Boulevard, Colfax Avenue and Speer Boulevard. I-70 and I-25 serve as barriers to connectivity in the Northwest Travel Shed. Federal and Sheridan boulevards are key north-south corridors, while 32nd Street, 38th Street and Speer Boulevard provide connections to I-25 and Downtown Denver. The travel shed includes a large percentage of residential areas that value the walkability of their neighborhoods. Blueprint Denver designates much of this travel shed as an “Area of Stability,” although isolated “Areas of Change” exist. Trips to and from Downtown Denver characterize most of the traffic in the Northwest Travel Shed. Other trip patterns include trips to the East Colfax Corridor, the Southwest Travel Shed and trips south toward West Colfax and 6th Avenue. Growth in person trips by the year 2030 is modest compared to other travel shed study areas. Results from this project alone will be:
And by walking, biking and riding closer to home, residents spend money nearby rather than across town. We are seeking donors and sponsors to help implement this project.
