“On behalf of the over 800 employees who provide service to hundreds of thousands of Rhode Islanders every day, we express our gratitude to Governor Dan McKee, Speaker Blazejewski, Rhode Island Senate President Lawson and all members of the General Assembly for ensuring RIPTA’s FY 2027 budget gap is addressed.

RIPTA has long fought for adequate and sustainable funding to maintain and improve service. We know that when transit service meets the needs of Rhode Islanders in getting them to work, school and medical appointments, they utilize RIPTA. Our partnerships with Miriam Hospital, Electric Boat, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Amazon and other employers support the state’s economy and help ensure prosperity for Rhode Island families. Our innovative services, like Flex On Demand, will help increase ridership and at a lower cost.

When Rhode Island invests in public transit, it is investing in the success of students, residents and businesses. We will continue to do everything in our power to improve service for our riders. We welcome a continued discussion with our elected leaders as we work together to move transit forward.”
– RIPTA Chief Executive Officer Christopher Durand
