Equity in Public Transit

Equity in public transit means ensuring all community members, regardless of income, race, or background, have fair access to reliable, affordable transportation options. It aims to eliminate disparities that underserved groups face in reaching jobs, healthcare, education, and other essential services. Achieving transit equity involves thoughtful planning to address existing inequalities, providing affordable fares, accessible infrastructure, and services that meet diverse needs. This helps create a more inclusive and just transportation system where everyone has equitable opportunities to participate fully in society.
