Many of Orange County’s premier destinations – Disneyland, beaches, world-class shopping – are easily reached by safe, convenient OCTA buses. Until July 5, those who take the Dump the Pump Challenge can win valuable weekly bus adventure packages to these great locations and more.
To encourage potential riders to regard bus transit in a positive new way, OCTA created an entertaining video featuring a fictional everyman who discovers freedom and popularity after giving up his car and climbing aboard an OCTA bus.
In an earlier contest, OCTA also thanked current riders with weekly drawings for 30-day bus passes when they shared their stories and pictures taken on the bus, at a bus stop or at a destination.
Every year, OCTA celebrates National Dump the Pump Day by raising awareness of public transportation options and encouraging their use. Last year, according to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), Americans took 10.8 billion trips on public transportation, the highest number in 58 years.
