Solid advice. We can care about everyone, but (by design) we can't keep up with everything going on. But I personally can't pick only one thing to be involved with. Empathy squad anyone?

Please repost this y'all. Public transportation is essential for a city to function. Even as someone who rarely uses RIPTA, I empathize with those who rely on it. Shame on you, @govdanmckee.bsky.social for harming the people you're supposed to represent. We gotta vote this guy out

MEDIA ADVISORY: Join us for our Transit Vigil “R.I.P.-TA” on Tuesday Sept. 23, 5:30pm in Kennedy Plaza! 🕯️🚌

Transit may never be the same. Wear black, bring a candle.
Save RIPTA logo with white text in front of a blue wave on a black background. Advisory "Transit Vigil" to Mourn RIPTA In Advance of Devastating Service Cuts What: "R.I.P.-TA" Transit Vigil Who: Save RIPTA Coalition When: Tuesday September 23, 2025, 5:30pm Where: Kennedy Plaza It's the end of the line for public transit as we know it in Rhode Island. Join advocates, labor leaders and community organizers as we light a candle and mourn RIPTA's current service as it heads into an uncertain and scaled back future. Governor McKee's sweeping service cuts go into effect Saturday Sept. 27, with slashed frequencies, weekend eliminations, and truncated routes. This "right sizing" of RIPTA will have all of the wrong impacts: decreased ridership, increased burden on current riders, and everyday people unable to get to their jobs, classes, or appointments reliably. The fight is not over. Advocates and riders will continue to push for legislation that restores and expands funding for RIPTA, and organize behind candidates who prioritize the lives and livelihoods of transit riders. Join us as we stand with and uplift riders whose lives will be impacted, and mourn the loss of this critical service. Attendees are asked to bring candles and wear black. ###

Thinking about when @govdanmckee.bsky.social said he was making RIPTA cuts because he had a "duty to every taxpayer footing the bill." Does he think people who ride the bus don't pay taxes? We do. We ALL do. Our tax dollars also pay for his salary. I think he needs to get fired next election.

@govdanmckee.bsky.social If you gave a damn about the people you represent, you would invest in the state you're supposed to serve. Weakening RIPTA may temporarily close a "deficit" (which is crap because it's not a for-profit organization), but in a year, in 3 years, we will all be worse off

At the RIPTA board meeting right now. There are people from all over (from everyday citizens to politicians, from riders to non-riders) demanding supplemental budgets and full funding for RIPTA.

There is nothing to celebrate here. This is still a massive reduction in service that will harm riders with frequency reductions and elimination of weekend service.

Our full statement below ⤵️
SAVE RIPTA After months of sustained advocacy and an avalanche of opposition from across the state, we are glad that Governor McKee is bringing RIPTA back from the brink by choosing a pathway to avert massive layoffs and cuts to entire routes that would devastate our transit system beyond repair. This solution was available in January, but bus riders are always forced to beg for basic services that strengthen our economy before any action is taken. We sincerely hope this cruel tradition will come to an end. While slightly better than the initial proposal, the Governor's new budget deal still reduces frequency and weekend service on 46 of RIPTA's routes, making the system less convenient and reliable overall. In order to grow ridership and build the robust, convenient, and comfortable transit system Rhode Islanders deserve, we must be expanding RIPTA, not shrinking it. A permanent funding solution is still required to move RIPTA in the right direction. We thank the General Assembly for their work on sustainable transit funding last session, and look forward to continuing to collaborate in January. We do not agree that a fare increase will solve RIPTA's problems. While the pressure of our advocacy is moving the conversation in the right direction, this new proposal will still cause harm to tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders with cuts to services in trips, frequencies and on weekends. People will lose their mobility, jobs, independence, and quality of life. It is not something to celebrate.

Raising fares keeps coming up, so we put together this handy explainer for @govdanmckee.bsky.social ⤵️

Spoiler: It won’t work and it will likely backfire.

Read the full post:
pvdstreets.org/7-reasons-ra...
REASONS RAISING RIPTA'S FARES MAKES NO SENSE. FARES ARE ALREADY HIGH RIPTA's regular $2.00 base fare is already near the top of what nearby peer agencies charge for local bus service. The MBTA charges $1.70 per ride, Connecticut Transit charges $1.75, GATRA (serving greater Attleboro) charges $1.50 (which will soon be free). Infographic depicting various dollar amounts for RIPTA, CT Transit and GATRA (the latter with a red X through the dollar bills and the text FREE thanks to Mass. Millionaire's Tax RAISING FARES WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM Raising fares won't come close to filling RIPTA's current $10 million budget gap. According to the latest efficiency study, a general fare increase would only generate $1-2 million, while fare increases on select routes (like the express or flex buses) would generate under $1 million. Infographic with a thermometer depicting a $1M amount relative to a $10M total FARES ARE A FRACTION OF OVERALL REVENUE Public transit systems never get much revenue from fares. No public bus system in America gets more than a small fraction (15% in RIPTA's case) of its budget from fares, just like no public road system is funded entirely by gas tax or driver registration fees. State and federal funding are the bulk of the transportation system - for roads, and for RIPTA. Politicians who hold transit to a different standard than roads aren't facing the budget issues seriously enough. Pie chart with a small red segment and an annotation “Paid fares account for 15% of overall revenue.”

Saw this a few days ago; the word Trump written on the back of a street sign, then some people (myself included) put stickers over it. Today, they were gone. So smeone (who's to say who?) finished the phrase. It now reads: Trump is a fascist #fascism #fuckfascism #providence
