National Dump the Pump Day
Join APTA in celebrating the third annual National Dump the Pump day on Thursday, June 19, 2008.
The day is designed to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride public transportation to raise awareness of the financial and environmental benefits of public transportation. Public transportation has the ability to save money, conserve gasoline, and reduce the harmful greenhouse gases emitted into our environment.
On June 19, public transit agencies from coast to coast will join together to encourage their communities to dump the pump by leaving their cars at home and riding public transportation. APTA developed this online toolkit to assist transit agencies in carrying out their dump the pump activities. http://www.apta.com/services/dump_the_pump_08/
