Transit Equity Day in USA in 2023
The state of Wisconsin has celebrated Transit Equity Day on February 4th to commemorate Rosa Parks’ birthday, since 2019.
This holiday was created in 2000 by the state legislature of California; it commemorates civil rights leaders on the birthday of Rosa Parks — a Black woman who refused to give up her bus seat for white people in 1955.

Rosa Parks was an American activist in the civil rights movement best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott when she peacefully protested to end segregated seating on public buses. Transit Equity Day is an opportunity for advocates and community members to raise awareness of public transit as a civil right and a way to help fight for climate justice. Equal access to affordable and reliable public transit options is key to ensuring every resident can access opportunities across the country, while improving our environment and mitigating impacts of climate change.
 
The Rosa Parks Memorial was unveiled in Montgomery, Alabama in 2021; the Rosa Parks bus was restored by The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan in 2001 and is now part of the museum's, "With Liberty and Justice for All" exhibit.

Bay Area Rural Transit, Miskwaabekong Transit and Bad River Transit will honor Rosa Parks on Friday and Saturday, February 3rd and 4th, 2023, by offering free fares and reserving a front seat on our buses.
