Have you ever wondered what it's like to not be able to drive? Chances are you know nondrivers.
About one third of people living in the United States do not have a driver's license. Many involuntary nondrivers, including those who are disabled, lower-income, unhoused, formerly incarcerated, undocumented immigrants, children, youth, and the elderly, remain largely invisible. This invisibility results in a mobility system designed almost exclusively for drivers.
In When Driving is Not an Option, disability advocate and author, Anna Zivarts highlights the number of people in the US who cannot drive and explains how improving our transportation system with nondrivers in mind will enhance the quality of life for all.
