TWELFTH ANNUAL NATIONAL DUMP THE PUMP DAY TO BE HELD ON JUNE 15
Dump the Pump. Ride Public Transit.
Morgantown, WV -
With the continued fluctuation of gas prices, local traffic, and expense of having a vehicle Mountain Line announced today that it will join with other public transportation systems nationwide to participate in the twelfth annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 15. The slogan of this year’s National Dump the Pump Day is “Dump the Pump. Ride Public Transit.”
Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the 2017 National Dump the Pump Day is a day that encourages people to ride public transportation and to take them where they need to go, instead of driving a car. Started in June 2006 when gas prices were $3 per gallon, this national day emphasizes that public transportation is a convenient travel option that also helps people save money. According to the April APTA Transit Savings Report, individuals in a two-person household can save an average of more than $9,823 annually by downsizing to one car.
Additionally, public transportation is a cornerstone of local economies in urban, suburban, and rural communities. In fact, a public transportation helps to make a community economically prosperous and competitive. Every $1 invested in public transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns, powering community growth and revitalization.
