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/
