Transit Equity Day is a National Day of Action that commemorates the importance of investing in public transit for the benefit of all citizens. It also coincides with the birthday of civil rights icon and public transit rider Rosa Parks, which is on February 4.
In honor of Transit Equity Day, on Friday, February 3, Hampton Roads Transit will provide free rides, available on all bus, light rail, ferry, paratransit and microtransit services.
Bus headlights will remain on all day to symbolize the light Rosa Parks provided to our world and each bus will have a reserved front seat with notated signage, in honor of her courageous act in helping to make transit more equitable for all.
