[Transit] Fwd: Register Your Actions for Transit Equity Day 2024!

[Jo Claxton]

hi Katie,
We didn't have enough time to go into the Transit Equity day last night but
I had a think on it this morning.

What about asking progressive like-minded businesses (Squirrel Chops,The
Station, others?) about some kind of perk/discount on Transit Equity Day
for people that show their Orca card?
(I saw a museum <https://www.janm.org/events/2024-02-04/transit-equity-day>
in Los Angeles offering free admission this upcoming Transit Equity Day if
you show your TAP card.)

Also, Metrolink
<https://metrolinktrains.com/ticketsOverview/discounts/current-promotions/transit-equity-day/>
in California is offering Ride Free on Transit Equity Day! Seeing as Sound
Transit has frustrated people so much over this last couple of weeks with
the disruptions and Feb 4th is the last day of the repairs - maybe they
could have free Light rail to help make it up to their frustrated riders?
