Dump the Pump on June 20th!


National Dump the Pump Day is June 20, 2024 and encourages people to forgo the gas pump and use public transit for the day; it's convenient and helps save money! Public transit systems and organizations in more than 150 communities across the U.S. take part each year to encourage new transit riders and thank those who use public transit every day. Learn more about Palm Beach County transportation alternatives at PalmBeachTPA.org/Transit.
