June 2015 – County Connection

County Connection Riders “Dump The Pump” Each Day

Dump The Pump 2015June 18th is the 10th Annual National “Dump the Pump” day –  a day that encourages people to ride public transportation  to take them where they need to go, instead of driving a car. Using County Connection’s average trip length (one way) of 5 miles, each person who leaves their car at home and uses the bus will reduce CO2 emissions by 4.6 pounds.

In the month of May, County Connection riders reduced CO2 emissions by 30,867 pounds EACH WEEKDAY. Were you one of them?

Send  your “Dump The Pump” selfies to #countyconnection and be eligible to win one of several gift cards.
