Chatham Area Transit announces that it will join other public transportation systems nationwide to participate in the tenth annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 18, 2015.
Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), Dump the Pump Day is a national event that encourages people to ride public transportation and save money instead of driving. Started in June 2006 when gas prices were $3 per gallon, this day shines a spotlight on the extensive benefits of public transportation, such as personal savings, environmental sustainability, and economic growth.
To promote participation this year, CAT will be participating in the 8th annual Dump The Pump Challenge as well as running a photo contest. Customers can snap a ‘selfie’ while riding the bus, paratransit, or bike sharing service on June 18th and share it on social media to be entered to win. Find the full contest details on our Dump The Pump page.
