Should RIPTA be free for riders? Some legislators think so and a likely gubernatorial candidate.
Should public transportation be free in Rhode Island? Cities across the world have eliminated rider fees on buses and trolleys and now a number in the United States are considering the same.
Now, Senator Meghan E. Kallman (D-Dist. 15, Pawtucket, North Providence) and Rep. Leonela “Leo” Felix (D-Dist. 61, Pawtucket) have introduced legislation that would provide free transportation on Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) buses.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average American spends 25.9 minutes a day traveling to work one way that adds up to just over four hours every week spent in transit for work.
PROVIDENCE Courtney Hawkins, the director of Rhode Island s Department of Human Services, has resigned, effective May 14.
In a letter delivered to the state s health and human services secretary, Womazetta Jones, on Thursday, Hawkins wrote: Leading the team of hundreds of dedicated public servants at the agency has been the greatest honor and opportunity of my life. Together we have stabilized the department s operations while implementing a number [of] programmatic improvements which have impacted and improved the lives of thousands of vulnerable individuals and families, she wrote.
Governor Dan McKee s spokesman, Matt Sheaff, said: It will be a priority for the McKee Administration to find a candidate to lead this department which plays a crucial role in the lives of so many Rhode Islanders. We thank Director Hawkins for her service and wish her all the best.
Sen. Meghan E. Kallman (D-Dist. 15, Pawtucket, North Providence) and Rep. Leonela “Leo” Felix (D-Dist. 61, Pawtucket) have introduced legislation that would provide free transportation on Rhode Island Public Transit Authority buses.
The bill, which was unveiled today at a press conference at Kennedy Plaza in Providence, also sets up the funding structure to support the initiative financially.
“Public transportation cuts across so many issues,” said Senator Kallman. “It’s a climate and environment issue. It’s a neighborhood and quality-of-life issue. It’s an economic issue. When we acknowledge this critical link between public transit, job access and social equity, the need for this legislation becomes obvious. Good public transit is a cornerstone of both climate readiness and social justice.”
