Metro is reserving a seat on every bus and train on Tuesday to pay tribute to Rosa Parks on what would be her 112th birthday.

Metro Denver residents can ride Regional Transportation District buses and trains for free on Tuesday as part of Transit Equity Day to honor civil rights leader Rosa Parks.

The Regional Transportation District, also known as RTD, is providing free transit for everyone on Tuesday in remembrance of Civil Rights Leader Rosa Parks.

All RTD rides will be free on Tuesday, February 4, as the metro Denver transit agency celebrates Transit Equity Day. Though RTD didn’t offer a free month or more of rides for adults last year as it had in 2022 and 2023,

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — TriMet riders in Portland will enjoy free rides tomorrow, Feb. 4, in honor of Rosa Parks, as the transit agency commemorates what would have been her 112th birthday. Each year, TriMet waives fares on buses, MAX, and LIFT services to celebrate Parks and her significant contributions to the civil rights movement.

RTD said Transit Equity Day is observed on Rosa Parks’ birthday and was first celebrated nationally by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 2021.

When stepping on the bus today, you’ll see a seat already taken, but no one is in it. The seat is set aside today for Rosa Parks. Chatham Area Transit is honoring the legacy of Rosa Parks with a special initiative – free rides for everyone.
