About the Plan

Transit Master Plan

The Transit Master Plan will envision how our passenger transportation network should look and operate in the future. In Rhode Island, our passenger transportation network currently includes bus, rail and water transportation services. The Transit Master Plan will envision how this network should be enhanced and further developed to best meet the travel needs of the state's residents, workers and visitors. To develop this plan, we will use data, public input, stakeholder feedback and more. Both short-term and long-term projects will be proposed, as well as an implementation strategy identifying potential partnerships, policies and needed investments.

Plan Goals:

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
