ABOUT 31DAYS
31DAYS is more than just a challenge – it's a movement for sustainable mobility and quality of life. We invite people to question the habit of driving and discover new ways of getting around.
Since 2022, we've supported thousands of people in leaving their car parked for a month and trying out alternatives such as cycling, public transport or walking.
