MORE THAN 18 MILLION TRIPS TAKEN ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN RHODE ISLAND

Find Out More With New State of System Report

Did you know that more than 18 million trips were taken on public transportation in Rhode Island last year? The majority of those were bus trips with RIPTA (about 16.1 million trips), but the overall number also includes commuter rail, ferry and Amtrak. That statistic is just one of dozens of interesting facts that you can find in the recently-released “State of the System” report. The report is an important milestone as RIPTA works with partner state agencies to create the first Transit Master Plan for Rhode Island’s future. The master plan work is expected to be completed later this year, and public input is encouraged. Take some time to read the State of the System report and share your thoughts! Click here to read the report.
