On June 17, transit agencies across the nation are participating in the “Dump the Pump” Day.
Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) since 2006, the national event encourages people to beat gas prices and help protect the environment by leaving their cars behind and using public transportation.
Locally, King County Metro Transit will be thanking its customers by hosting “customer appreciation” activities at three large transit centers with refreshments provided by Starbucks and Costco. The events will run from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Thursday at the Northgate Park-and-Ride, Bellevue Transit Center, and Federal Way Transit Center. Sound Transit staff will be on hand at Bellevue and Federal Way.
