Groundbreaking for Downtown Transit Connector

RIPTA was honored to have the State’s full Congressional delegation and Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza join us recently to mark the official start of construction on the Downtown Transit Connector (DTC).

The 1.4 mile corridor will provide high-frequency bus service from Providence’s Hospital District to the train station, and the project is largely funded by a federal TIGER grant.

Thank you Senators Reed and Whitehouse, and Congressmen Cicilline and Langevin for your continued support of public transportation. To read more about the DTC project, please visit: http://www.ripta-dtc.com/.

Say Goodbye to Summer
VM013 GC2248

Thank you to all the passengers who rode with us the summer and used public transit to explore our state – whether it was beautiful South County beaches or the mansions of Newport. Public transportation has been bringing people to key destinations in Rhode Island since the mid-19th century.

The electric trolley debuted in the state around 1889. Pictured here is a summer car (open sides and awnings) taking folks to Crescent Park in the Riverside section of East Providence.
