Just in Time for Summer Vacation: Take Transit, Save $810 in July
Individuals who ride public transportation instead of driving for their daily commute can save, on average, more than $810 per month, according to APTA’s July Transit Savings Report, with an annual savings computed at $9,719 for a person who switches his or her commute by car to taking public transportation.
These savings are based on the cost of commuting by public transportation compared to the cost of owning and driving a vehicle. These costs include the July 13 national average gas price ($2.26 per gallon, as reported by AAA) and the national unreserved monthly parking rate.
APTA also lists the top 20 cities with the highest public transit ridership, ranked in order of their transit savings based on the purchase of a monthly public transit pass. Find this information at APTA’s Facebook page.
