At METRO, every day is Transit Equity Day, and we are dedicated to improving public transit by connecting communities, improving accessibility and, especially during this pandemic, providing essential trips.
But Friday, Feb. 4 marks Transit Equity Day in honor of civil rights icon Rosa Parks, and this past week METRO Board members and senior staff snapped pictures while riding the system to highlight the importance of transit. Chair Carrin Patman rode METRORail and the 44 Acres Homes bus route.
“I rode the 44 in honor of Mayor Turner, who rode that route every day to attend college, and who has been a champion for equity for all Houstonians,” said Patman.
