**Santa Cruz Metro is offering FREE fares to riders to all of the Transit Equity Week Events and all day Feb 4th!

How can we make our city streets safer for EVERYONE? How can we take community action and what is Tactical Urbanism? How did the United States go from having the world’s leading public transit systems to severe transit Inequity? How does the steamrolling of the American Public building highways through the bedrooms and backyards of Black and brown communities starting in the 1950’s impact us still today?

A WEEK of Transit Equity Activities will be taking place across Santa Cruz County culminating with a Family Focused Transit Equity Day event in the Watsonville City Plaza on Feb 4th. See below for a rough list of events.

Let's get on board for Transit Equity Day! It's Transit Equity Day "season," where unions, transit rider organizers, civil rights leaders and climate and environmental justice groups come together to plan actions to take place on February 4, Rosa Park's birthday, and to declare transit equity as a civil right. It is once again time to Educate. Agitate. Organize.

Join us on February 4 for exciting actions to expand public transportation while building worker power and addressing climate change at the same time.

We look forward to seeing you there! Check our web site as we get closer for details: www.EquityTransit.org/transit-equity-day-2023/
