On Thursday, April 25, 2019, the DC Circulator joins hundreds of public transit providers, experts, and enthusiasts on Get on Board for Public Transit Day. Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), Get on Board Day is a national event aimed to bring awareness to the many economic, social, cultural, environmental, and safety benefits public transit brings to American communities.

Washington D.C. has consistently ranked among the top 10 major cities in the U.S. for public transportation. Its public transit network provides more than 300 million trips per year and approximately 31% of all commutes in The District are via public transportation.

We are proud to know our six route bus system contributes its own benefits to our city such as:

• Improved air quality with the largest fleet of zero-emission, 100% electric buses on the east coast.
• Greater personal savings with the only FREE major public transportation option in the city.
• Economic stimulation by connecting residents and visitors directly to local hot spots and activity centers for retail, tourism, and employment.
