AMERICAN CITIES WHERE YOU DON'T NEED A CAR

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

Ok, hear us out. We know, it’s the epitome of car culture, but

depending on where you live in LA, you can actually make it

work. Between car sharing, uber, metro, light rail, and busses,

it is possible. Maybe not your preference, but it’s possible.

HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT

While it’s not the first place you think of going without a car,

between busses, walking, and biking, it is possible to make it work.

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS

Thanks to being in the Boston metropolitan area, living

here without a car is not a problem.

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA

Being so close to the nation’s capital, Arlington shares lively

neighbourhoods with great transport options. It’s an ideal

place to live without a car.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

Thanks to being highly bike able and walkable, along with decent

light rail and bus systems, it is definitely possible to live in

Sacramento without a car.

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

Located in the Bay Area, the region is known for having

above average walkability. And in spite of Oakland’s bad rep,

it has cleaned up a lot. These days it is a vibrant city with arts,

culture, and of course, sunshine. The best neighbourhoods

for going car free are Downtown and Laney College.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

It’s not the best place in the world to go carless, but it is

certainly possible. You just have to make sure you are close

to the public transport (bus, light rail). Neighbourhoods

like Plaza Midwood are the best.

TWIN CITIES, MINNESOTA

Between light rail, busses, and walking, there are many parts of

this metropolis in which a car wouldn’t be necessary. The

farther you get from the centre though, the harder it will be.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN

This will largely depend on where you live in the metro area.

North Point, Murray Hill, and Juneau Town are some of the

best when it comes to walkability.
