A Virginia transit company is honoring Rosa Parks on her 103rd birthday by reserving a front seat for her on every single one of its buses.
The Greater Richmond Transit company has placed a sign on one bus seat on each bus to honor her legacy, according to a press release Wednesday.
"Ms. Parks, the 'Mother of the Civil Rights Movement,' will be honored by GRTC in a fitting tribute by reserving the first passenger seat on every GRTC bus on her birthday Thursday, February 4, 2016," the statement said.
"Each of these seats will have a commemorative sign displayed on them, honoring both Ms. Parks' legacy and her dedication to the Civil Rights Movement."

The buses' electronic header also bears a special message for Parks on her birthday.
Parks died in 2005 at 92 years old.
