RIPTA TO ANALYZE TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES AT QUONSET BUSINESS PARK

RIPTA and Foursquare Integrated Transportation Planning, Inc. (FITP) are embarking on a Quonset Business Park Transit Market Study and Service Analysis that will identify travel patterns, examine Route 14 (West Bay), and research the geographic and demographic of current Quonset Business Park employees. One of the main goals of the study – which is expected to take about six months – is to help determine how efficient alternative commuter transportation can be provided to Quonset.

The Quonset Business Park is one of the most strategically important and fastest growing job centers in Rhode Island. Coming up with cost effective ways to serve the park with public transportation will pose some challenges because the site is expansive, draws employees from many different communities and has businesses with varying work hours. FITP will help RIPTA identify creative means of serving this key destination in the state.

Bus Shelters of the Future?

Members of our Commuter Resource RI (CRRI) team recently visited 360 High School in Providence to help judge models of what students think bus stops of the future should look like. The students had an eye for unusual shapes (one shelter looked like a pear) and pleasing colors. Passenger comfort was tantamount with some models featuring WiFi, sliding glass doors, upholstered seating..and more! We thank 360 High School for inviting us to be part of their innovative project. And we suspect there may be one or two future transit planners in their ranks!!
