The introduction page says:
"Welcome to Arlington's Car-Free Diet, the easy, fun way to see how incredible it can feel to live a car-free or car-lite lifestyle."
And on the calculator page:
"Whether you plan to go car-free every single day or just once or twice a week, you're about to see some real results!"
Every single day means never using a car. So they are talking about car-free as an option. They are also promoting Chris Balish's book "How to Live Well Without Owning a Car", again advocationg car-free living.
