BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–On June 16th, American Public Transportation Association (APTA), and public transportation systems across the country will celebrate the 11th Annual National Dump the Pump Day.
National Dump the Pump Day encourages people to ride public transportation (instead of driving) and save money.
The April APTA Transit Savings Report shows that a two person household that downsizes to one car can save – on the average –saves more than $9,000 a year.
On that day, TriCounty Link, which provides transit services to citizens in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, will offer free rides.
The company’s goal is to let folks take a break from their car and be a part of the national effort to show how much public transportation benefits the local communities.
For example, for every $1 invested in public transportation, $4 is returned in economic returns.
