Due to a budget shortfall left by Gov. McKee and the General Assembly, RIPTA has reduced service across the system, increasing wait times and cancelling routes on the weekends. Our communities deserve elected leaders who care about the public transportation that so many rely on to get to school, work, appointments and all their everyday needs. The Save RIPTA Coalition is working with the community, drivers and the union membership, as well as elected members and leadership in the General Assembly to identify sustainable funding for RIPTA. Ensuring RIPTA can meet the needs of Rhode Islanders at this critical moment for our economy and climate has never been more important.
