Moving Beyond Cars party with GOOD

Getting there is half of the party! We suspect Los Angeles might have a car-crazed reputation but we also know this city has a vibrant community that likes to take bikes, buses and sidewalks, too. Rethink LA is teaming up with GOOD, the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, Dublab, Green Aid, and the A+D Museum for an event that shows how L.A. can move beyond cars. We’re holding it at the exhibition Rethink LA: Perspectives on a Future City which envisions a Los Angeles fifty years in the future. And we’re challenging everyone who attends to use alternative transportation. That’s right— our goal is to make this a completely car-free party.
Board a bus, take the train, ride a bike, map out a walk, jump on your scooter, hire a horse and buggy, break out your hoverboard … just get here in a way that illustrates an L.A. that’s not auto-dependent. Connect with friends and travel together. Document your trip on Twitter, Flickr or Facebook using the tag #RethinkLA. When you get to the event, we’ll have an opportunity for everyone to record how they got there, where they came from, and what happened during their journey.
The incredible spin-artists from Dublab will be DJing.
Greenaid will be on hand to talk about their Seedbombs, and greening the world one pellet at a time.
The folks from LACBC will have a bike valet out front.
And GOOD will be collecting statistics on your journey to turn into an incredible alternative transportation based Infographic. Plus: There will be prizes awarded for the people who arrive in the most unique, alternative, or “beyond car” ways. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
