National Dump The Pump Day Is Thursday, June 15, 2017

Thursday, June 15th is national Dump The Pump Day. Dump the Pump was introduced 12 years ago by the American Public Transit Assn. to remind us that public transportation doesn’t just help people save money, it also helps communities grow and prosper. For every $1 invested in public transportation, $4 is returned in economic returns. Taking advantage of your public transit system helps people and their communities grow strong!
