Dump the Pump will be celebrated on June 19, 2008.
The 2008 online toolkit is coming soon. The information below is from 2007 and is for reference only.
Join APTA in celebrating the Second Annual National Dump the Pump Day on Thursday, June 21, 2007.
The day is dedicated to raising awareness that public transportation helps
improve the environment and conserve fuel. It also offers the opportunity
for people to beat the high price of gasoline and support public transportation
as an important travel option that helps reduce our dependence on foreign
oil.
On June 21, public transportation agencies from coast to coast will join together to ask the public to park their cars and ride public transportation instead.
The resources in this online toolkit were developed to assist transit agencies in carrying out National Dump the Pump Day activities.
This postcard shows the web address of www.publictransportation.org, from which readers may obtain Dump The Pump materials. This postcard can be used directly by anyone, without any additional editing or coding.
This postcard contains a button which can be programmed to carry a link to the Dump The Pump Day web page. This second version needs to be coded and is recommended only to agencies which are equiped to build HTML emails.
In response to the rapid price increase of gasoline and anticipated price hikes at the pump a second Dump the Pump logo is available for use that focuses on riding public transportation as a means to avoid the high price of gasoline.
These ads are written in Shockwave and will add a dynamic note to any web site. Above each ad you will find a link from which you may download the SWF file, and a second link from which you may download a .txt file which contains all of the code necessary to mount the applet on your web page. Please note that the .swf files are meant to be loaded into the same directory as the applet, and that the .swf files each contain hyperlinks which will take the reader to our PublicTransportation.org site as soon as they are clicked.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION GASOLINE/ENERGY ADVERTISEMENT
With gas prices on the rise again, we have developed a timely gasoline/energy advertisement for your use. The advertisement reads, "Saving money on gas takes little effort. In fact, you can do it sitting down. Public transportation Wherever life takes you."
APTA will seek to publicize National Dump the Pump Day by actively reaching out to national press. In addition, we are contacting other national organizations to partner with us and spread the word about this event. Any particular questions about this effort can be directed to Virginia Miller, vmiller@apta.com
