Bill > HRes101

This resolution expresses support for designating February 4, 2025, as "Transit Equity Day" in honor of Rosa Parks, a pivotal civil rights activist who protested racial segregation in public transportation. The resolution highlights ongoing issues of unequal transit access based on race, income, and disability, and emphasizes that affordable, reliable public transit is an essential service. It recognizes that public transportation can help address climate change by reducing automotive pollutants that disproportionately impact communities of color and economically disadvantaged areas. The resolution calls for national recognition of Transit Equity Day, encourages the use of public transportation, and applauds transit agencies that offer fare-free rides on this day. Additionally, it honors Rosa Parks' legacy by requesting that the House Clerk transmit the resolution to specific transit justice advocates, including the co-executive directors of the Labor Network for Sustainability and the convener of the National Campaign for Transit Justice.
