SamTrans Launches Unity Artwork On Buses This Week
SamTrans collaborated with the Millbrae Anti-Racist Coalition to "send a message that racism and hate will not be tolerated."
SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — SamTrans, the transit agency serving San Mateo County, launched an artwork series this week on its buses promoting a message of unity.
The artwork, contributed by three California artists, comes after SamTrans adopted a resolution in April addressing diversity, equity and inclusion.
They collaborated with the Millbrae Anti-Racist Coalition to “send a message that racism and hate will not be tolerated,” according to SamTrans' website.
