HART joins other public transportation systems nationwide participating in National Get On Board Day on Thursday, April 25.
Sponsored by the American
Public Transportation Association (APTA), the 2019 National Get On Board Day is
a day that encourages people to support public transportation and showcases the
benefits it brings to communities. Each weekday in the U.S., 34 million people
board public transportation. Locally, HART covers a service area roughly the
size of Rhode Island (over 1,000 sq. miles) and carries 34,000 passenger trips
daily.
HART will be participating
in Get on Board Day by displaying public transportation facts at HART
facilities and gathering signatures from customers and employees in support of
transit.
Additionally, public
transportation is a cornerstone of local economies in urban, suburban, and
rural communities. Public transportation helps to make a community economically
prosperous and competitive. According to APTA, every $1 invested in public
transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns, powering
community growth and revitalization.
With a unified voice, the transportation industry will come together on April 25, 2019 to highlight the many benefits public transit provides to communities.
Please show your support and Get on Board on Thursday!
