A few of the 100+ riders who have come out to speak up and speak out against the devastating service cuts due to the defunding of RIPTA. ❌🚌 Governor Dan McKee are you listening?

Director Alviti has a responsibility to EVERYONE who travels in Rhode Island, not only drivers. As RIPTA's Board Chair, he is currently presiding over the agency as they face the LARGEST CUTS IN HISTORY. He is failing bus riders.

You know what attracts modern economic development? Modern transit systems connecting to plentiful housing. If McKee and DOT's Alviti don't find a solution to walk back their crippling of RIPTA, a challenger should take their jobs.

What if RI voters and the people we've put in office the last 20+ years thought proactively about investing in a modern human ecosystem (transit, housing, education, health), instead of dull reactive one-off non-strategy to economic development?
