RIPTA and the City of Providence Initiate the Providence Core Connector StudyRIPTA is partnering with the City of Providence to examine the feasibility, cost and benefits of improving transit within the central core of the City, connecting the College Hill, Downtown and Upper South Providence neighborhoods.  The study will examine options for connecting the significant educational, medical, employment and cultural destinations in this corridor with the central bus hub in Kennedy Plaza and rail services at the Providence MBTA/Amtrak station.   Members of the public are encouraged to attend one of three community open houses in September to help plan how transit might improve mobility and strengthen Downtown, Upper South Providence, and College Hill.

College Hill Open House - Tuesday, September 21 from 5 to 7 PM at the Brown/RISD Hillel Center, 80 Brown Street, Providence (Informal drop-in open house, with brief formal presentation at 6 PM )

Upper South Providence Open House - Wednesday, September 22 from 5 to 7 PM at the Edmund Flynn Elementary School, 220 Blackstone Street, Providence (Informal drop-in open house, with brief formal presentation at 6 PM)

Downtown Open House - Thursday, September 23 from 12:30 to 2 PM at the Commerce Center, 30 Exchange Terrace, Providence  (Informal drop-in open house, with brief formal presentation at 1 PM)
