Public Transportation Takes Us There

Dump The Pump Banner

In these tough economic times everyone is looking to save wherever they can. This June the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and transit systems across the country will celebrate the fourth annual National Dump the Pump day on Thursday, June 18, 2009.

The day is designed to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride public transportation to raise awareness of the financial benefits of transit. Public transportation has the ability to save people money, conserve gasoline, and reduce the harmful greenhouse gases emitted into our environment.

APTA developed this online toolkit to assist transit agencies in carrying out your dump the pump activities.
