Metrolink is offering a free ride this weekend! Please read below!

On Sunday, February 4, 2024 we’re inviting everyone to Take A Seat – Any Seat and ride Metrolink, and Arrow, for free. That’s because it’s Transit Equity Day, which is celebrated on the birthday of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks.
Metrolink is committed to providing safe, accessible, and affordable transportation for everyone. Simply arrive at the station and board any Metrolink or Arrow train operating that day (no ticket required). LA Metro, OCTA, Riverside Transit Agency, and San Bernardino County public transportation providers (including OmniTrans, MBTA, Mountain Transit and Victor Valley Transit) are also offering free rides on Transit Equity Day.
Please note: Transit systems in other counties may require a fare. Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner trains will require a fare.
Transit Equity Day is a national day of action to commemorate the birthday of Rosa Parks by declaring that public transit is a civil right. In 1955, Ms. Parks, an iconic civil rights leader, refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in protest and to demand an end to segregation on transit systems.
