RIPTA IN THE COMMUNITY
Wheels at Work Rolls in to Providence Children’s Museum!
Kids get behind the wheel of working vehicles big and small during a special summer series at Providence Children’s Museum. Climb aboard a fire truck, sit atop a backhoe loader, examine the equipment in an ambulance, and meet the vehicles’ operators.
Explore a different vehicle each Wednesday morning in August. Get into the driver’s seat of a RIPTA bus on Wednesday, August 30 and check out its impressive dashboard.
