Both Sam Zurier & Helen Anthony endorsed Jill Davidson for the Ward 2 City Council seat. @jilld.bsky.social broad range of endorsements alone show how she can bring together a broad range of people to work together. She’s got @pvdstreets.bsky.social @climateactionri.org & others backing her too.

Thanks a lot @govdanmckee.bsky.social for making it even harder to visit South County on weekends by transit. I’d have to take RIPTA Route 66 from Providence to URI Kingston and then try to book a Flex On Demand 203 ride to continue onwards to Wakefield. It’s not even available right now!😪

Love the planters by North Main Street & Benefit Street in Providence! Awesome traffic calming measure that’s aesthetically pleasing 🌷 @pvdstreets.bsky.social

Happy Halloween to everyone except @govdanmckee.bsky.social who is making thousands of Rhode Islanders’ fears come true by slashing RIPTA service.

Let’s talk about how it takes an HOUR to go 1.7 miles and how I almost refractured my wrist. And let’s make sure @ripta.com @magaziner.house.gov @amo.house.gov @magaziner.house.gov and @rebeccakislak.bsky.social know as well. 🧵

Alexis is just 11 years old. His father was violently torn from him in this preventable act of traffic violence. We are so immensely saddened by this tragedy, and grateful for Alexis’ courage.

A vigil for pedestrian lives lost at a dangerous and ignored Providence intersection "All I want is justice," said Alexis Garcia. "That’s all I want, so no one else can die here, and no one has to suffer through what I have suffered.” steveahlquist.substack.com/p/a-vigil-fo...

Thanks to all who attended our vigil for Lucas Garcia and Violet Barracks yesterday. It is heartbreaking to have multiple fatalities at the same intersection, but unsurprising with a slip lane and no pedestrian signal. turnto10.com/news/local/f...

The family of Lucas Garcia, who was killed by a driver while crossing the street yesterday in Providence, is raising money for funeral expenses. Please help spread the word and contribute if you are able. A heartfelt remembrance can be found on the Gofundme page below. gofund.me/0f676b959

Absolutely heartbreaking and maddening that a pedestrian was killed here just three years ago and nothing has changed. How much bloodshed has to happen before things change here? The Safe Streets for All project for this area cannot happen fast enough!

Adding beautiful and sturdy safety features to North Main this morning w/ friends from the Providence Streets Coalition & Ward 3 neighbors! Inspiring to see folks dedicating their time to improving our community! Special thanks to Bloom RI who supported this installation!

if you’re ever feeling down I recommend getting a dozen friends and installing planters for traffic calming and beautification thanks @pvdstreets.bsky.social (and @sueanderbois.bsky.social)!

Helped install planters on N Main St right before Olney St. in Providence, RI. These help keep cars from driving illegally, making it safer for everyone on the street.

My intern tries to arrive to the store between 10am-11am. He texted me in a panic bc his bus still hadn't arrived as of 1059am. He didn't get to us until ~1pm. He spent more time waiting in the rain than at work. #McKeeStrandedMe I'm worried for next week.

A textbook example of #mckeestrandedme @govdanmckee.bsky.social great work!

🚌❌Today Rhode Island wakes up to a grim new reality. RIPTA buses across the state are no longer running due to @govdanmckee.bsky.social’s sweeping service changes that eliminate weekend service on many routes, reduce frequency all week long, and cripple RIPTA’s ability to provide reliable service.

“Traveling on the RIPTA has brought recent headlines to life. We learned that the service cuts to be implemented on Sept. 27 will make it harder for those relying on public transit to make it to work on time.” Read this insightful meditation on transit giving students a new perspective!

🚨RIPTA’s sweeping service cuts go into effect Sat. Sept. 27. Late for work? Bus going away on weekends? Can’t get to class? Fill out our survey to tell your story, and document your experiences in real time using the hashtag #McKeeStrandedMe on Bluesky, IG, and X! forms.gle/MRhs2k4GYFkU...

You cannot build your way out of the housing crisis without public transit to get people to their jobs, classes, and places they need to go. Starting Saturday @govdanmckee.bsky.social’s sweeping cuts to RIPTA go into effect, kneecapping any progress we are making on housing.

These service cuts were preventable if @govdanmckee.bsky.social didn’t shortchange RIPTA in the first place. Shame on you! Many riders will have to deal with less frequent service because of you & RIDOT Director/RIPTA Board Chair Alviti. We'll definitely remember this at the ballot box next year.😡🗳

Thank you to everyone who came out to our R.I.P.-TA Vigil as devastating service cuts loom just days away. 🕯️ Shame on you @govdanmckee.bsky.social for putting riders through this!

TODAY: Join advocates, riders, and community leaders as we hold a vigil for RIPTA. See you at 5:30 in Kennedy Plaza! 🕯️Bring a candle 🖤Wear black

Providence is a walkable city. In some parts. Here's a map that shows you more. @pvdstreets.bsky.social www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

Define ‘everything’ @govdanmckee.bsky.social While Massachusetts is expanding public transit, the failure of Gov. McKee’s leadership continues to make businesses like Hasbro want to leave our state. www.wpri.com/business/has...

McKee cut transit. McKee lost Hasbro. I’m tired of being right.

This is a HUGE step forward for Paratransit! Thank you to everyone at @ripta.com who worked on it + all of the ATAC members who tested it & gave feedback! 🚌♿️

⚙️Community Organizing Group (COG) is back and making our way to the @mapcenter.com on 9/16 @ 6:00pm! 🗺️Come early and enjoy all of the incredible and unique finds the Map Center has to offer! 🧠Then gather as we collaborate and strategize about all of the PVD Streets advocacy efforts…with snacks! 🥨

Latest Blab Lab episode is out. @pvdstreets.bsky.social advocate 17yr old Cedric Ye chats with me about RIPTA, trains, and homework! ecori.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?... @ecorinews.bsky.social

Listen to Kenny! If anyone knows about public transit and its importance, it's him.

A friendly Friday reminder on how we do last minute allocations: ✅$6.8M for RIDOT to tow cars from the Washington Bridge 264 times ❌$4M to maintain RIPTA bus service for 35,000 people

🚌💀Today the RIPTA Board of Directors, with the leadership of Peter Alviti leading the charge, voted to officially enact one of the largest reductions to RIPTA service in its history. We will continue fighting for as long as it takes until RIPTA is fully funded. 💪💪💪 Our statement ⤵️
