SEVENTH ANNUAL NATIONAL DUMP THE PUMP DAY TO BE HELD ON JUNE 21
Dump the Pump. Save Money. Ride Transit
With
the return of high gas prices, Targhee Regional Public Transportation
Authority announced today that it will join with other public
transportation systems nationwide to participate in the seventh annual
National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 21, 2012. TRPTA WILL OFFER FREE RIDES To The GENERAL PUBLIC All Day On June 21, 2012 ONLY. The slogan of this year’s National Dump the Pump Day is “Dump the Pump. Save Money. Ride Transit.”
Sponsored
by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the 2012
National Dump the Pump Day is a day that encourages people to ride
public transportation and save money, 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 great alternative to using
the personal vehicle.
Since
gas prices reached close to $4 this year, saving money is on everyone’s
minds and public transportation is the quickest way to beat high gas
prices. According to the latest APTA Transit Savings Report,
individuals in a two-person household can save an average of more than
$10,000 annually by downsizing to one car.
WHAT: 7th Annual National Dump the Pump Day
WHERE: At TRPTA locations statewide
WHEN: Thursday, June 21, 2012
