Today, LCTA pauses to remember and honor the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and all those whose lives were forever changed by that tragic day.

We remember the victims, the families who carry their memory, and the brave first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who answered the call with extraordinary courage and selflessness.

May we never forget the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the strength and compassion that brought our nation together in the days that followed.

Today, we remember.
Today, we honor.
Today, we will Never Forget. 🇺🇸

LCTA is closed today, Sept. 7, in observance of Labor Day. We will reopen with regular service tomorrow.

This Labor Day, LCTA proudly recognizes and celebrates the hardworking men and women whose dedication, perseverance, and commitment help keep our communities moving forward.

From those who begin their work before sunrise to those who serve others long after the day is done, we are grateful for the countless contributions of workers who make a difference every day.

Labor Day is more than a day off — it is a time to reflect on the dignity of work, the value of service, and the people whose efforts build stronger families, communities, and a stronger nation.

To every worker, past and present: thank you for all that you do.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful, and well-deserved Labor Day. ❤️🤍💙
