AMERICAN CITIES WHERE YOU DON'T NEED TO DRIVE

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY

Although it’s not as well connected as some of the other

New Jersey cities, New Jersey is one of the densest

states in the union, so it’s not a surprise that it would

show up on this list so much. Pro-tip: the closer you get

to NYC, the better the transport gets.

NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT

Two things make New Haven navigable without a car, its

compactness and the fact that it is a university town (Yale).

Bikes and busses would be the preferred alternative

forms of transport here.

HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY

This little city is right across from downtown NYC and as

you may suspect, its neighbourhoods are extremely

well connected to public transport.

JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY

Full of young professionals who commute to Manhattan every day,

Jersey City is a great place to get by without a car.

And you’ve got a great view of downtown!

BUFFALO, NEW YORK

Although car use is dominant in the city, there are many

areas where you won’t need a vehicle. Light rail and

busses will do the trick.

PORTLAND, OREGON

Unless you are living in the suburbs, many neighbourhoods

are very well connected. Downtown, the Pearl District and

Northwest Portland are three of the best.

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

Depending on where you live, having a car might be more

of a hassle in Baltimore than going car free. The bus

and light rail are pretty good.

MIAMI, FLORIDA

As long as you live in Brickell, Downtown, or South Beach,

your need for a car will be limited to visiting friends

in the suburbs.
