Free Fare on Transit Equity Day

On Monday, February 10, Hampton Roads Transit will offer free fare on its bus, light rail, ferry, paratransit, and ridesharing services on Transit Equity Day. In addition to free fares, bus headlights will remain on all day to symbolize the light Rosa Parks provided. Every HRT bus also will have a reserved front seat with a small sign to honor Parks’ act of courage that ultimately helped make transit more equitable for all. Public transit plays an important part in providing access to quality jobs, education, and essential services. Transit Equity Day is a National Day of Action to bring attention to the importance of investing in public transit for the benefit of all citizens.
