Let's get on board for Transit Equity Day! This national day of organizing and mobilization brings together unions, transit rider organizers and climate and environmental justice groups to act as one voice around February 4, Rosa Park's birthday, and to declare transit equity as a civil right.

In mobilizing for victory during Transit Equity Day 2024, the Labor Network for Sustainability is partnering with the National Campaign for Transit Justice to drive an urgent narrative: Our public transportation systems should be measured by how well they service riders.
Our unified mobilization will be to escalate pressure on our decision makers to win fully-funded operations and service. Good service drives Equity, Cools the Climate, Provides good union jobs, and Strengthens our economy.
