In honor of Transit Equity Day, C-TRAN will offer free service across the entire system on Wednesday, Feb. 4, for the entire service day. Feb. 4 is the birthday of civil rights leader Rosa Parks.

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of segregation laws at the time. It became a key moment in the civil rights movement, and Parks herself was a leader in that movement. C-TRAN and other transit across the United States provide free service each year on February 4 as a small way to honor that legacy.

All C-TRAN routes will run on regular weekday schedules on February 4. For questions or assistance, download Transit, C-TRAN’s official app for trip planning and real-time information, or call Customer Service at (360) 695-0123.
