Transit Authority of River City is participating in Black History Month this February by recognizing a famous civil rights figure.

Throughout the month, TARC is saving a seat on every bus in its fleet to honor Rosa Parks and her contribution to the civil rights movement.
Each reserved seat will feature a sign reminding passengers of how Parks changed history on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955.
The #SaveaSeat signs will have QR codes that passengers can scan and take them to Olmsted Parks Conservancy and its efforts to restore Chicksaw Park's tennis courts.
The park is believed to be the only park in the country created by the Olmsted Firm for the Black community during segregation.
Olmsted Parks is TARC's Design-a-Bus partner for 2025.

Rosa Parks' refusal to surrender her seat to a white male passenger led to her arrest and triggered a wave of protests in Montgomery and communities throughout the South.
As a result, Black residents of Montgomery led a boycott of the city bus line that lasted more than a year.
Thousands took part in additional protests such as sit-ins, eat-ins, swim-ins, and similar causes to demand equal rights for all people.
