Join the national Going Car Free Challenge

And if you’re looking for an extra incentive, Possible have now launched a national Going Car Free Challenge, inviting drivers to sign up to reduce their car use during the month of June. By signing up you will have access to support from the Possible team, and each week Possible will suggest milestones to inspire, encourage and help keep the momentum going. And you’ll be entered into a prize draw with the chance of winning some fantastic prizes. Find out how it works and how to sign up on the Possible website.

Organisations involved in the Car Free Challenge

The Oxford Car Free Challenge was run by the climate charity Possible in partnership with LCON and the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST). The project was funded by the Foundation for Integrated Transport, Oxfordshire County Council’s Councillor Priority Fund and many Oxford residents. We are grateful to businesses and organisations that supported the Challenge, including Avanti Cycling, Bainton Bikes, Co Wheels, Laka Bike Insurance, Pedal & Post, Voi and Oxfordshire County Council’s road safety team.
