'''Additional comments:''' LOUISVILLE, KY - Tim Darst, Transit Director for the Coalition for the Advancement of Regional Transportation (CART) will be marking World Car Free Day (September 22) by riding 200 miles on Transit Authority of River City (TARC) buses to highlight the need for expanded transit options for the citizens of Louisville Metro.  Mr. Darst will be accepting donations per mile with all proceeds going to Family Scholar House (formerly Project Women) and is challenging others to do the same.  

[http://www.ridetarc.org TARC] has been cutting services in recent years due to the increase in fuel prices.  TARC has not had an increase in funding to offset these costs.  Low-income people of Louisville and the surrounding areas are faced with fewer options for getting to work at a time when gas prices are high and getting higher.

[http://www.cartky.org CART ]  is a non-profit advocacy organization whose mission is to promote multimodal transportation through advocacy and education. CART has been investigating options for increasing funding for TARC and for adding more transportation options for the citizens of Louisville.

Family Scholar House (formerly Project Women) is a collaborative organization that provides housing to single parents who are experiencing homelessness and supports them in obtaining a baccalaureate degree, thereby enabling them to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their children.  The World Car Free Day funds will be used to purchase transit passes for those single parents to attend school.
