Dump the Pump Day, June 16
Again this year, APTA is offering a National Dump the Pump Day toolkit to help public transportation agencies, businesses and supporters promote the 11th annual event on June 16.
The purpose of Dump the Pump Day is to present public transit as a way to support an environmentally sensitive alternative form of transportation and save money. The toolkit provides a variety of resources, including sample media advisories and proclamations, print-ready artwork and ads, a fact sheet and a detailed list of suggested activities.
In past years, public transit agencies have hosted special events to dramatize “dumping the pump,” provided incentives such as free rides and giveaways for riders and conducted outreach activities at schools and with community leaders.
APTA also suggests other ways for its members to spread the word about Dump the Pump, such as linking their websites to its fuel calculator and carbon calculator so visitors can see how much money and vehicle emissions they can save by taking transit, or promoting the monthly APTA Transit Savings Report.
