Boo bad tire inflation!

Danielle Dahan reports at tonight’s meeting of the CCURB Action Team that emPower-born, CCURB-funded, student-run Pump It Up! worked at the first gas station of the fall last Friday.

The team of four returned to the Exxon on Smith St, right across from the State House in Providence. They plan to station there every Sunday afternoon from 12 pm to 2 pm.

Sporting the brand-new official project T-shirts, Dahan said they were taken more seriously than in trial runs last spring. Drivers were willing to have them approach their vehicles and pump tires, ensuring proper inflation.

She observed, also, that a lot of people came to re-inflate tires with a slow leak. Pump It Up! will brainstorm ways to address this issue. If you have suggestions, or want to get involved, please email her (danielle_dahan@brown.edu).
