RTA Encourages Residents to “Dump the Pump” on June 16

The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace bus are reminding residents to ‘Dump the Pump’ and take public transportation on Thursday, June 16. First time and veteran transit riders will have a chance to win prizes by showing that they have dumped the pump!

This year, transit riders can submit a picture of themselves “dumping the pump” and riding the RTA region’s transit system. Riders can begin posting their pictures now and can do so until the end of National Dump the Pump Day on June 16.

Riders should upload photos of themselves riding on CTA, Metra or Pace to their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages, along with one of these hashtags: #DTPChi or #DumpThePumpSweeps, to be automatically entered into a drawing to win great prizes. Riders can enter multiple ‘dump the pump’ photos however rules allow only one raffle entry per rider no matter how many photos are entered. More importantly, with each ride, commuters contribute to the regional economy, help preserve our environment and save time and money by “dumping the pump”.
