Metrolink, the Orange County Transportation Authority and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority will also participate in providing free fares.
"By facilitating access to jobs, school, shopping, and other important destinations, we can greatly impact people's lives and help them achieve their dreams," said Ara Najarian, chair of the Metro board. "In the spirit of Rosa Parks' legacy, Metro is now working to make transit more affordable and accessible every day for our most disadvantaged daily transit riders."People can also redeem a 30-minute free ride on Metro Bike Share by selecting"1-Ride" on the kiosks and using the code 020423.
LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell, who also serves on the Metro board, said Transit Equity Day is a reminder of transit's"unfortunate history of racism and classism," along with what Metro should strive to be --"safe, clean, reliable and affordable." "I am committed to achieving a Metro system that does not put disproportionate cost burdens on our highest need populations and in creating a transit ecosystem that serves all Angelenos," Mitchell said.
Equity is a term used in Marxism/Socialism/Communism. Equality is the true meaning here. Something L.A. Democrats don't want for us. If Democrat policies worked, why aren't they working?
The rides are free. The urine smell is free. The assaults are free. It’s a celebration!
Transit Equity Day? What in the hell is that? Stop wasting my tax dollars on social leeches. Enough is enough.
