Virginians are discovering transit and loving it! Celebrate Discover Transit Month with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and transportation partners from across the Commonwealth by discovering new transit options.
Virginians who pledge* to try or continue using transit during Discover Transit Month are automatically entered for a chance to win two Virginia Breeze Bus Lines tickets or two tickets for the Amtrak Northeast Regional train. Pledges will be accepted September 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.
Across the country, more and more Americans are using transit, and it’s easy to see why. Transit can save you money and time and is better for the environment. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) reported that a household can save nearly $10,000 by taking public transportation and living with one less car, and that communities that invest in public transit reduce the nation’s carbon emissions by 63 million metric tons annually.
APTA also found that traveling by public transportation is 10 times safer per mile than traveling by automobile.
Public transit takes the stress out of commuting and is affordable, accessible, and reliable. Give it a try!
