DUMP THE PUMP DAY (MIAMI)
June 18

Thursday is Dump the Pump Day. Commuters everywhere use this day to take a break from gridlock by using mass transit instead of their personal vehicles. The hope is, if you try public transit just once, you'll want to make it an everyday part of your life. Since gas prices are starting to creep up again, stick it to the man by not using your car.

Tomorrow, touch base with the boss so s/he knows what's happening and doesn’t give you a hard time about your work schedule.

Here are some tools that will help you manage the experience like a pro:
