Fares will not be collected on any C-TRAN Local, Regional or Express route
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.
Fares will not be collected on any C-TRAN Local, Regional or Express route. The Current and C-VAN will also provide free service. C-TRAN is offering free service in partnership with TriMet and Portland Streetcar, which are also running free service on Transit Equity Day.
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.
