<p>Welcome to season 9 of Down to the Struts!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>To kick off this season, Qudsiya sits down with Anna Zivarts, the author of <em>When Driving Is Not An Option: Steering Away From Car Dependency</em>. Anna shares how she has helped to build a coalition of non-drivers to create more accessible communities where disabled people, older adults, children, and so many others can move freely without a car. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>She also offers some helpful tips about advocating for more inclusive transit systems so that we can all get around with independence and dignity.
