Press Releases
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) will implement winter service changes effective January 19, 2019. RIPTA makes regular service adjustments several times a year in response to seasonal changes and/or passenger use.
2019 Winter Service Changes
These annual changes are moderate and include rescheduling for better on-time performance. For many routes, only a slight trip time change occurred. Routes 32, 33 and 34 will no longer operate through downtown Providence to Routes 17 and 19.
