RIPTA’s Fall Service Changes Take Effect Tomorrow, Saturday, September 27, 2025

Providence, Rhode Island - The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) will implement fall service changes beginning tomorrow, Saturday, September 27, 2025.

The changes will affect the following routes: 3, 4, 6, 9x, 12x, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 51, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59x, 60, 61x, 63, 65x, 66, 68, 69, 72, 75, 76, 78, 87, 92, 95x, and the R-Line.

Over the past several months, RIPTA has made operational adjustments to strengthen its financial position. With additional legislative funding and a budget framework developed with Governor McKee, the Authority closed much of its deficit while preserving service and avoiding any route eliminations or driver layoffs. The new schedule follows RIPTA’s regular service adjustments which occur three times a year in response to seasonal changes and/or passenger use.

“As we heard throughout our public hearings, RIPTA is essential for Rhode Islanders to get to work, school, and appointments, and to lead productive lives,” said Chief Executive Officer Christopher Durand. “These changes reflect those needs and ensure we can maintain service today while planning for a stronger future transit system.”
