> Raimondo Announces that RIPTA will Waive Fares for Residents on Aquidneck
> IslandNearly 7,000 Residents Affected by Gas Outage
>
> Governor Gina M. Raimondo announced today [Wednesday 23 Jan.] that the
> Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) is waiving fares for
> passengers traveling on Aquidneck Island in order to help people get to
> warming shelters and other essential services during a gas shutdown
> affecting about 7,000 National Grid customers.
>
> "My number one priority continues to be public safety, and waiving RIPTA
> fares will help residents safely access critical services during this
> outage," said Governor Raimondo. "We have set up meal locations in Newport
> and National Grid continues to provide vouchers for hotels. Even with the
> slightly higher temperatures today, homes that have been without heat since
> Monday are too cold to be safe. Residents should seek alternate shelter if
> they haven't already. "
>
> Governor Raimondo has been working with RIPTA, the Rhode Island Emergency
> Management Agency and the City of Newport to determine how to assist area
> residents. On Monday, National Grid announced that it needed to turn off
> gas to approximately 7,000 customers as it worked to stabilize the main gas
> line that services the area. Since then, state and local officials have
> worked to set up warming shelters and other services for residents without
> heat.
>
> "During this time, we don't want transportation to be a barrier for
> Aquidneck Island residents as they try to get to warming shelters, meal
> sites, medical appointments and more," said RIPTA CEO Scott Avedisian.
> "RIPTA can provide them with a warm, safe ride to where they need to go.
> This is about being there to help a community. Our main intent is to help
> people who are trying to get to services they need."
>
> RIPTA has five routes and one Flex Service that offers service on
> Aquidneck Island; Routes 14, 60, 63, 64, 67 and Flex Zone Route 231. RIPTA
> will extend this assistance to ADA customers who use the RIde program.
> RIPTA will be keeping a tally of passenger trips on the island and RIPTA
> will work with National Grid on reimbursement.
>
> While gas is being restored to some homes and businesses today, others
> could be without service for a week or more. RIPTA will monitor the
> situation daily to determine how long bus fares will be waived on Aquidneck
> Island. The public is encouraged to check www.ripta.com under "Service
> Alerts" for updates, as well as social media (Facebook @RideRIPTA, Twitter
> @RIPTA_RI). For more information on RIPTA services, please call 781-9400.
