NCTD Offers FREE Rides to Commemorate Rosa Parks’ Birthday

All NCTD Transit Modes FREE on Tuesday, February 4 – “Transit Equity Day”

Oceanside, CA – In 1955, Rosa Parks was riding home on public transit when she refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus. The actions of the 42-year-old activist invigorated the movement for equality and played an important role in desegregating public transit.

To commemorate Rosa Parks’ birthday, and all she stood for, North County Transit District (NCTD, The District) is joining other public transportation agencies around the country in recognizing February 4, 2025, as “Transit Equity Day” by offering free rides.

“Rosa Parks’ courage to challenge the status quo became a pivotal turning point for Civil Rights in our country,” said NCTD CEO Shawn M. Donaghy. “We honor her legacy by working to ensure that all members of our community continue to have any and all opportunities to improve their quality of life through robust public transit policies and services.”

Transit Equity Day was first celebrated in select areas of the nation in 2018. This year will be the third year that NCTD will participate in Transit Equity Day by offering free rides.

Riders can use all NCTD modes – COASTER, SPRINTER, BREEZE, FLEX, NCTD+ and LIFT – free of charge for the entire day on February 4, 2025. For those traveling on NCTD+ within the San Marcos microtransit zone, customers can use promo code: ROSAPARKS in the NCTD+ app for free rides.
Free rides apply to NCTD modes of transportation only and are not applicable on Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) or AMTRAK through the Rail 2 Rail program.
