TriMet will not collect fares on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025 — on what would have been the 112th birthday of civil rights legend Rosa Parks.
It’s the fifth straight year that TriMet will celebrate the life and heroism of Rosa Parks by not collecting fares on our buses, trains and LIFT paratransit vehicles for the day. Our transit partners, C-TRAN and Portland Streetcar, also won’t ask for fare on Feb. 4, in support of transit equity.
“Rosa Parks is an inspiration to me,” said TriMet General Manager Sam Desue Jr. “Seventy years ago, she had the courage to defy injustice and segregation. By keeping her seat, she took a stand. As the first Black person to serve as TriMet General Manager, my life has been shaped by Rosa’s legacy, and I’m proud to say that on TriMet, all are welcome. Please, join us, and ride with Rosa!”
On Feb. 4, there’s no need to buy a ticket or tap your Hop card – just come on board!
