So… the @RIPTA.com revised proposed service changes for Fall 2025 are out. Not as drastic as before but still include frequency & span of service changes as well as elimination of weekend service on many routes😬 RIPTA.com/publichearings

Still far from ideal, but proof that your advocacy is making a difference! Keep it up!

I wonder if this was avoidable or if Rhode Island, a Democratic trifecta state, is just broken and dense.

This was definitely avoidable! The Governor left RIPTA with a $32.6 M shortfall in his proposed state budget back in January!! This is ultimately his fault.

Dan McKee seems to not want to be governor if he's doing things that that have no tangible gain for the state.

He’s running for re-election next year! 🫠

Rhode Island is cooked. Can we run Bruce Sundlun's corpse? /s
