Across the country, Black leaders have paved the way for public transit systems that connect us to jobs, education, healthcare, and opportunity. As we reflect on Black History Month, we’re mapping the contributions of these visionary leaders—past and present—who have expanded access to transportation, modernized public transit networks, and helped all communities thrive. Their work continues to shape a future where public transportation gets us where we need to go—even if we don’t ride.
In our latest blog post, we’re taking a journey across the U.S. to highlight the individuals who have helped transform public transportation. From New York to Los Angeles and beyond, the contributions of Black leaders have molded our nation’s public transit network into what it is today.
As we look to the future, it’s important to recognize and honor the leaders and innovators who have championed the vision of strong communities supported by flexible, accessible, and sustainable public transportation systems. By understanding the history of public transit, we can ensure that it remains a strong foundation for opportunity in every community.
