Florida is celebrating its eighth annual Mobility Week from Oct. 27 through Nov. 4, 2023.

Mobility Week is a statewide effort by the Florida Department of Transportation and its partner agencies to promote awareness of safe transportation choices – whether it’s taking the train or bus, walking, biking, carpooling or vanpooling.

The reThink Your Commute team will be at Mobility Week events throughout Central Florida. We’d love to see you there! Come and join us at the following events:

This family-friendly roundtrip bike ride will take you on a 4-mile trip through the historic Colonialtown North neighborhood and Audubon Park Garden District, using the brand new Corrine Drive quick-build pilot path. Remember to bring your own bicycle, and we strongly recommend wearing helmets for your safety. Space is limited so be sure to RSVP.
