June 17th was National Dump the Pump day. Transportation Choices, a group consisting of MichiVan Commuter Vanpools, Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), Detroit Department of Transportation, Detroit People Mover and the Smart Bus held an event outside of the Compuware World Headquarters building on this National Event Day.

Each alternative mode of transportation had a table set up with games to get the individuals engaged in learning more about the mode of transportation that they offered. The individuals not only walked away with information regarding multiple means of ways to “dump the pump” but also a small trinket to remember the mode that will benefit them in the future.

During the event Detroit’s Fox 2 News was present and did a small clip on Dennis Green, Marketing Manager of the Detroit People Mover. It aired on the 5:00 news. See it here.
