As part of National Dump the Pump day, tomorrow all Cap Metro Rides will be free if you print out a coupon. Check out their website for more information and look below to find the link for the coupon.

Cap Metro’s website notes that:

Thursday, June 17, is National Dump the Pump Day, and Capital Metro encourages you to be Ozone Action Hero and leave your car at home.

You can ride Capital Metro (MetroBus, MetroRail, and MetroExpress) free with a coupon on National Dump the Pump Day.

Did you know that during rush hour, a full bus takes 35 cars off the road? Let’s fill the bus! Plan your trip now using Capital Metro’s easy online trip planner.

Walking, biking, or riding public transportation instead of driving is the single most effective way to reduce your carbon footprint and improve our region’s air quality. In fact it’s the number one heroic ozone action identified by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization.

All of Capital Metro’s buses and trains accommodate bikes on a space available basis, providing even more flexibility in using our services.

Thanks for the tip Eric! And I highly recommend using this opportunity to try out the express bus if it works with your commute. Check out my recent posts on my bus riding experience.
