National Dump the Pump Day is observed worldwide on every third Thursday of June. Established in 2006 by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), this day encourages individuals to leave their private vehicles at home and utilize public transportation or alternative travel methods instead. The initiative aims to demonstrate the convenience and benefits of public transport, including cost savings, reduced wear on personal vehicles, and environmental advantages such as decreased CO2 emissions and air pollution. The APTA, a nonprofit organization representing various public transit agencies in the United States, highlights that increased public transport usage can lead to economic benefits, job creation, and improved community mobility. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtags #NationalDumpThePumpDay and #DumpThePumpDay.
