Honoring Transit Equity Day: Why Accessible Transportation Matters for Seniors and Communities
February 4 is Transit Equity Day, a time to honor the legacy of Rosa Parks and highlight the ongoing fight for equitable, accessible, and affordable public transportation for all. It’s a reminder that transportation is more than a convenience — it’s a civil right that shapes access to opportunity, independence, and community life. Across the region, public transit agencies, aging support networks, and community partners work together to help older adults and people with disabilities stay connected to vital services and vibrant community life.
