Wheels Commemorates the Legacy of Rosa Parks 2026

On February 4, 2026, Wheels will commemorate the birthday of Rosa Parks, a civil rights icon whose courageous act of defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and ignited the Civil Rights Movement. In recognition, all Wheels buses will reserve the front seat with commemorative signage, encouraging riders to reflect on the legacy of Rosa Parks and the ongoing fight for equality.

Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) Executive Director Christy Wegener stated, “Rosa Parks’ unwavering stand against injustice serves as an important reminder of the power of individual action to create lasting change. Wheels is honored to celebrate her legacy and reaffirm our commitment to providing safe, accessible, and equitable public transportation for all."
