Dump the Pump

The 2018 National Dump the Pump Day is a day that encourages people to ride public transportation and to take them where they need to go, instead of driving a car. Started in June 2006 when gas prices were $3 per gallon, this national day emphasizes that public transportation is a convenient travel option that also helps people save money.

The motto for this year’s National Dump the Pump Day is “Dump the Pump. Ride Public Transit.”

Santa Cruz METRO operates 26 year-round routes throughout Santa Cruz County. Fares are $1-2 with day passes available for $6 or less.
