I hope Metro does stuff like this for RapidRide.
With the ORCA card, and its ability to track (approximately) how many miles a person rides a bus, they could implement a system like Propel Biodiesel’s "CleanDrive", which shows their customers how much CO2 they’ve displaced with a certain credit card number. (example: http://www.propelfuels.com/content/community_report/ )
I also find the design of that poster odd. If a person is looking at it from far away, all they will see is "saved". It is probably intentional, though.
