In December 5th and 6th 2005, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Office of Civil Rights, together with its partners in the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO), celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the life and legacy of Rosa Parks with a national workshop on Transportation Equity—the principle that transportation resources and investments provided by recipients of Federal funds should benefit all segments of society, and that adverse impacts of such investments should not be disproportionately borne by any single population or community.
