===========

 

This Thursday, June 18, is the 4th annual Dump the Pump Day - a day when
PRTC will join with the American Public Transportation Association
(APTA) and other transit agencies across the nation to highlight the
alternatives to driving alone.

 

Gas prices are climbing again, but you don't have to worry about the
cost of gas when you ride with PRTC.  Why not tell a friend about the
advantages of public transportation.  Not only do you save money, but
you also shorten your commute by traveling in the HOV lanes, reduce wear
and tear on your vehicle, and reduce air pollution.

 

Tell your friends to DUMP THE PUMP on June 18 and hop aboard a PRTC bus
instead!

 

If riding the bus isn't the best option for you, you can still save
money and time by ridesharing. PRTC's OmniMatch ridesharing service can
help you find a carpool or vanpool that meets your needs.
