HRES 101 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of February 4, 2025, as "Transit Equity Day".

This resolution designates February 4, 2025, as "Transit Equity Day" to honor Rosa Parks' legacy and her historic protest against segregated public transit. It symbolically recognizes ongoing challenges in transit access based on race, income, and disability, while encouraging public transit use and fare-free rides on that date. The resolution has no binding policy changes - it is purely a symbolic gesture urging recognition of transit equity efforts, with no new funding, regulations, or enforcement mechanisms. It directly affects public transit agencies and communities celebrating the day, but does not alter existing transit policies.
