UPDATE ON RHODE ISLAND'S TRANSIT MASTER PLAN

Please join us for a presentation and discussion of progress to date on development of the state's first multimodal Master Transit Plan, or "Transit Forward RI" on Monday, April 8, 4:30 pm at the RI Foundation

 

The Project Team, including representatives from RIPTA, RIDOT, the Office of Statewide Planning, and project consultants, will share their research and ideas with us, and we in turn can provide them with valuable feedback as they continue to envision how our passenger transportation network should look and operate in the future.  

 

The Transit Master Plan (TMP) is being developed by the Division of Statewide Planning, RIPTA, and Rhode Island Department of Transportation alongside the Bicycle Mobility Plan and Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).  The TMP will: 

· Develop a transit vision for Rhode Island over the next two decades

· Identify the specific improvements needed to achieve the vision

· Identify potential new sources of funding for the improvements

· Identify governance changes that could help move the plan forward and improve service delivery

We are inviting Rhode Island's transit and environment organizations to join us for this workshop on Monday, April 8, from 4:30 to 6:30 at the RI Foundation, One Union Station, Providence.
