Help us

As Americans deal with record-high gas prices, many are looking for ways to reduce their reliance on cars – and possibly live a car-free lifestyle. One of the most immediate benefits of reducing our reliance and usage of cars could be a reduction in gas prices. The less we use our cars, the less demand there will be, and the faster prices could come down. National Dump the Pump Day is the third Thursday in June.

Americans love the freedom of car ownership. It comes with a price though, like outrageous gas prices and traffic-like-molasses. National Dump the Pump Day promotes public transportation as an economical alternative to driving your own car.
