I’ve confirmed with 3 sources that the person killed in a multi-car crash in Centennial is State Sen. Faith Winter.
She led transportation efforts in the legislature for almost her entire time in the House/Senate since 2015.
She has two kids.
She’s one day younger than me. #copolitics

Complaints about #RIPTA gathered by pvdstreets.bsky.social described overcrowded buses and the need for riders to use rideshares to supplement cuts and lost service. Several riders said they feared they would lose employment because of the new schedule.
Dip in Ridership, Complaints After RIPTA Service Cuts Take Effect - ecoRI News
Since the service cuts, riders describe longer wait times and crowded buses with riders packed “like sardines.”

Not looking forward to seeing how much @govdanmckee.bsky.social will underfund & shortchange RIPTA in FY 2027. 🫠 So many riders have already felt the sting of September’s service cuts. Will we have to continue begging for proper funding each year? So tired.😪 @pvdstreets.bsky.social

We’re sending a clear message: safety and service must go hand in hand. Because confidence in our public systems starts with knowing you’ll get home safe.

🧵No one should feel like public transit is too dangerous to ride. That's why I'm leading new, bipartisan legislation with Rep. Malliotakis.
The Safe and Affordable Transit Act is commonsense — and it will help restore safety and confidence in our public transportation.

Please stop ignoring our concerns. Reducing service pushes more people away from transit and makes it even more unreliable.

“WHERE IS MY BUS? @govdanmckee.bsky.social underfunded RIPTA. Nearly 70% of routes are now running at reduced frequency or hours of service. These are the largest cuts in RIPTA’s history, and they hurt working people.” “I walk home for an hr. b/c of bus cuts!!” 🚨‼️🚌
