THANK YOU GoProvidence for joining the flood of calls to #SaveRIPTA! When will Governor Dan McKee understand the negative impact that bus cuts will have on our state's economy? It's high time we had state leadership calling to GROW RIPTA, not cut it.




Some light reading for Governor Dan McKee, from way back in 1999. Turns out the Transit Death Spiral is not a new phenomenon.
