Additional comments: Hundreds of people are killed and injured by cars on Louisville’s streets each year. Nationally, 32,708 people were killed on our roadways last year. It doesn't have to be this way. UofL's Sustainability Council wants to help stop by the violence on our streets and is taking part in an international day to celebrate the possibility of a world without cars! Bring your bicycle, walking shoes, and free bus pass (your UofL ID!) and join us for some fun, healthy, community-building car-free activities on and around campus! This event is affiliated with 350.org's worldwide initiative: "Moving Planet" - a single day to move away from fossil fuels.
