- Currently the average visitor’s impression of Providence is one of absolute disgust. How can you blame them?
- NOW LIVE: You can now stream the short documentary “Bus Cuts,” a compelling piece of filmmaking by Maya Kelly chronicling the impact of service cuts on RIPTA riders and drivers. Watch here: youtu.be/tgsHYMenMCA?...

- Update (previous post deleted): The Lockwood & Broad St bus stops by the high schools were not cleaned by RIPTA but rather by a rightfully concerned citizen. Four days after the storm, everyday people are stepping up when our public agencies continue to fail us. 💪

- Snow removal isn’t done until everyone can access the street. Sidewalks and bus stops are untouched throughout the city. Bus riders are standing in the streets. People are climbing over mountains of snow to cross the street, get to their cars, or get on the bus.

- 📢We are grateful to see the recognition of RIPTA’s importance in Governor McKee’s FY27 budget, which allocates funds to fill the agency’s deficit. 🚌❌But the reality remains that the impacts of the largest bus service cuts in RIPTA’s history, enacted last fall, are devastating for riders & drivers.
