Summary
RIPTA’s Metro Connector Study is heating up as they gear up to transform Providence transit—with big ideas like bus rapid transit and even light rail, all aimed at faster, more reliable rides. The goal? Unlock federal funding for game-changing upgrades like dedicated bus lanes, traffic signal priority, and better stations. Community input is key: in-person workshops (with Spanish interpreters), virtual meetings, and an online survey (deadline: July 30, 2026) are all open—and phone options are available for those without internet. This is your chance to shape the future of public transit in Rhode Island. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
