Why Ride Transit?

June is Ride Transit Month, a time to celebrate and promote the benefits of public transportation. By choosing to ride the bus, train, or other public transportation options, you contribute to a cleaner environment, reduce traffic congestion, and support a more sustainable future. Let's make this month an opportunity to explore and appreciate the convenience and advantages of public transportation!

Benefits of Riding Transit

1.        Environmental Impact: Public transportation reduces carbon emissions significantly. A single person switching to public transit can reduce their daily carbon footprint by 20 pounds, or more than 4,800 pounds a year.

2.        Cost Savings: Save money on gas, parking, and vehicle maintenance. Public transportation can be a cost-effective alternative, allowing you to allocate your resources to other important areas.

3.        Reduced Traffic: More people using public transportation means fewer cars on the road, which translates to less traffic congestion and shorter travel times for everyone.

4.        Health and Safety: Public transportation is safer than driving. It also encourages walking, which can be beneficial for your health.

5.        Community Benefits: Using public transportation fosters a sense of community. It connects people, supports local businesses, and can enhance the overall quality of life in urban areas.

How to Participate in Ride Transit Month

1.        Plan Your Trip: Use transit apps or local transit authority websites to plan your route. Discover new routes and schedules that fit your daily routine.

2.        Try Something New: If you usually drive, consider taking the bus or train for your daily commute or for an outing. Experience the convenience and ease of public transportation.

3.        Share Your Experience: Post about your public transportation adventures on social media using the hashtag #RideTransitMonth. Share photos, tips, and stories to inspire others to join in.

4.        Encourage Others: Spread the word about the benefits of public transit. Encourage friends, family, and coworkers to try riding mass transit and share the benefits they discover.
