MARTA’s sixth annual “Dump the Pump” scavenger hunt is coming up.
New and experienced riders are welcome to sign up for the event, which is designed to promote the benefits of using public transportation. (Sorry, MARTA employees and their family members — you have to sit this one out.)
Teams will receive “hunt booklets” containing clues and MARTA’s rail map and schedule. They’ll spend the day riding around the rail system looking for certain items and places, and will turn in the books once the tasks are completed.
Each member of the winning team will win a $425 Visa gift card. Members on the second, third, fourth and fifth place teams will win $325, $275, $250 and $225 gift cards, respectively.

The gift cards are provided by sponsor Outfront Media.
