Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!

On December 1, 1955, civil rights leader and seamstress Rosa Parks was ordered to move seats on a bus for a white passenger…and refused. Her action and subsequent arrest changed the course of American transit history, and today, we still honor her birthday as Transit Equity Day in the transit world. In today’s episode, Josh and I head to Montgomery, Alabama to see where this historic moment took place…and if we can ride the same bus route today.
