February 4 is Transit Equity Day, a day to celebrate the life and legacy of Rosa Parks, whose advocacy sparked a movement for transit equity that continues to this day. While the road to a more equitable future for all Americans still lies ahead, we are reminded of the critical role public transit plays in advancing racial and social equity for communities of all sizes.
