When you talk about the economic impact of an event potentially impacting whether or not said event will return - here's a great example of an organization that would directly benefit from an annual event, with numbers that back that up.
This past weekend’s @Freedom250 Grand Prix brought high ridership!
We moved 1.15M trips across Rail and Bus on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday also marked L'Enfant Plaza station's busiest Sunday on record, with more than 36,000 trips! 🚇
We’re proud to have played a significant role in keeping this region moving and supporting our partners during this historic event! 🏎️
