Big Blue Bus honors Rosa Parks’ birthday and Transit Equity Day, with FREE RIDES on Wednesday, February 4, 2026

To honor the legacy of Civil Rights Activist Rosa Parks, Transit Equity Day is celebrated nationwide as a day of action supporting equitable, affordable, accessible, reliable, and safe transit for all. This year’s theme, “Transit Moves Democracy, highlights the work being done by community leaders, environmentalists, and social justice advocates fighting for equitable, accessible, and fully funded sustainable public transit systems in our communities.  

Ways to Celebrate Transit Equity Day: 
  • Use Public Transit – leave your car at home and choose public transit. Each ride on public transit supports a greener and cleaner tomorrow.  
  • Encourage Others -   Organize trip with friends, classmates, coworkers, or community groups. Traveling together builds a culture of shared responsibility, increases ridership, and sends a message to community leaders that people want sustainable alternative modes of transportation. 
  • Follow Big Blue Bus - connect with Big Blue Bus on all social media platforms to stay up to date on transit news and advocacy opportunities in your community.   

Join us in honoring Rosa Parks and advocating for a more equitable future in transit. Together, we can preserve her legacy and ensure access to public transportation for all! To plan your trip, visit bigbluebus.com.
