In 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks was riding home from a long day at work on a public bus when she refused to give up her seat.
“Decades after Ms. Park’s bold decision, we must continue to advocate for accessible, reliable, and affordable public transportation for all,” said Jewel Edson, NCTD Board Chair and Solana Beach Deputy Mayor. “Offering free rides highlights the value of providing equitable access to public transportation.”
