The American Public Transit Association and its various members across the country are asking drivers to leave their cars at home and take mass transit to work as part of a Dump The Pump campaign on Thursday, June 19.
Dump The Pump is a day that advocates for people to ride public transportation to help improve the environment, conserve gasoline and save money, according to the association.

Many transit agencies are lowering prices on Thursday to encourage ridership. Some are even sponsoring contests to entice riders.
