This year’s Car-Free Earth Day hosted by the city’s Department of Transportation has expanded to 54 streets across the city – including 19 in Brooklyn.
The annual event makes select city streets car-free and promotes activism and education surrounding climate change, environmentalism and sustainable modes of transportation.
Besides programming, residents can enjoy music, public art displays and learn more about what’s happening around the community.
As part of the Earth Day celebration, Citi Bike will offer unlimited 30-minute rides on a classic Citi Bike for 24 hours. Riders can take advantage of the offer by using the promo code CARFREENYC25 in the Day Pass tab of the Citi Bike app.
The event also marks the official start of the city's Open Streets and Public Space Programming season.
