Did you know the history of Black History Month dates back to the 1915? That’s when historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Jesse E. Moorland, a prominent minister at the time, founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH). Black History Month is held in February and is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history.

How are you recognizing Transit Equity Day and honoring Rosa Parks today? Transdev operates under the principles that everyone has the right to equal access on public transit—not just today, not just during Black History Month, but always.

In honor of Black History Month in February, we are looking forward to celebrating the month and recognizing Transit Equity Day/Rosa Parks' birthday (observed on Feb. 5).

MLK day is observed each year on the third Monday in January, in honor of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s life and legacy. It is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities or reflect on civil rights and racial equity issues.

Thank you to our operations who organized Stuff-a-Bus or other community outreach events over the holidays. Community outreach and showing we care about the communities in which we operate is just part of how we do business – over the holidays and throughout the year. It's about demonstrating how we Live Our Purpose and help serve the common good. Be sure to check out of fun recap video.
