Enjoy Free Rides on Transit Equity Day, February 4

Free Rides - OC Bus

On February 4, OCTA will offer free rides all day on fixed-route buses. No ticket required!

Transit Equity Day commemorates the birthday of civil rights icon Rosa Parks, whose 1955 refusal to give up her seat on the bus led to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on transit was unconstitutional. Every day, OCTA is committed to offering equitable, reliable and balanced transportation for all.
