Summary
RIPTA is launching the next phase of its Metro Connector Study to transform transit in Providence and surrounding areas—exploring bold ideas like bus rapid transit and even light rail to speed up commutes, boost frequency, and modernize the system. The goal? Unlock federal funding for upgrades including bus-only lanes, traffic signal priority, and improved shelters and signage. Community input is vital: in-person workshops are happening across Providence, Central Falls, and Cranston this July, with virtual options and an online survey open until July 30, 2026. No internet? Call RIPTA customer service—your voice matters in shaping a faster, more connected, and accessible transit future for all.
