Join in celebrating the Second Annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 21, 2007.
The day is dedicated to raising awareness that public transportation helps improve the environment and conserve fuel. It also offers the opportunity for people to beat the high price of gasoline and support public transportation as an important travel option that helps reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
If Americans used public transit for 10% of their travels, as many Europeans cities do, that would cut our reliance on oil from the Middle East by 40%!
On June 21, public transportation agencies from coast to coast will join together to ask the public to park their cars and ride public transportation instead.
So get on board and Dump the Pump.
