On Saturday, February 10th, Transit Forward Philly Partners hosted an outing to celebrate Transit Equity Day that took participants from Temple University to the East Fairmount Park Discovery Center via the Route 3 bus. Participants went for a short hike and learned about how local organizations are advocating for Transit Equity in Philly. This outing was hosted by Sierra Club Pennsylvania Chapter, CARIE, the Clean Air Council, Temple University's Office of Sustainability, and Transit Forward Philly. 

Thanks to all who came out to the outing, and for such great conversation among such passionate community members! It was a great event.
