NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority offered free rides Sunday in honor of Rosa Parks Day.
Officials said riders "can ride at no charge on all RTA buses, streetcars, and ferries."
The fare suspension comes from RTA Board of Commissioners adopting a Fare Policy in 2022.
RTA said policy observes "both Rosa Parks Day on her Feb. 4 birthday and Claudette Colvin Day on her Sept. 5 birthday."
