Nondriver Action fights for the rights of Washingtonians who can’t drive so that no one is left isolated and without a voice.

We work at the intersections of transportation, housing and disability justice to build communities and systems where everyone has the freedom to get to their school, work, healthcare, errands, and friends.

Who are nondrivers?

A third of Washington residents are nondrivers. Nondrivers are people with disabilities, people who can’t afford driving, people without valid driver’s licenses, children and youth, and people aging out of driving.

We care about transportation accessibility because it can make the difference between getting to do the things that connect us to our communities, like running errands, seeing a friend, or getting to an appointment — or being stuck at home and isolated. We need reliable and frequent transit in every community, accessible and safe sidewalks and crossings, and bike lanes and multi-use paths connected to every destination.

2026 Endorsements and Candidate Questionnaires

We love that @votekelseybarrans love that Kelsey highlighted transit access for rural communities as one of her platform’s top priorities and specifically named communities that do not have transit access in her questionnaire. We think that Kelsey’s personal connection with the combined barriers of transportation access and housing affordable through her grandmother’s experiences will help inform her policymaking. We also appreciate her support of adding transit rider representatives to serve as voting members on Pierce Transit’s board. highlighted transit access for rural communities as one of her platform’s top priorities and specifically named communities that do not have transit access in her questionnaire.
