Today is Transit Equity Day, a national movement dedicated to promoting mobility as a human right. Metro is proud to be part of this collaborative effort to assert public transit as a means to advance equity and a crucial strategy to combat the climate crisis.
February 4th was selected as Transit Equity Day to honor Rosa Parks and her lifelong activism and dedication to freedom, equality, and justice for all people.
At Metro, we know public transit has bigger implications than simply getting people from here to there. It’s critically tied to the economic, social, and environmental well-being of our communities and our region.
We are committed to providing reliable, easy-to-use public transportation services that get people where they need to go — safely, equitably, and sustainably.
Sooo can county transit subcontractors receive orca cards like king county employees? Subcontractors are predominantly people of color- king county offices, not so much.
