Town Of South Kingstown: See What The Safe Streets Program Is About

Press release from the Town of South Kingstown:

RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit Authority) and Town of South Kingstown are working together to plan for safer streets in SK! Whether you get around by car, on foot, by bus, or by bike, we want to hear from you about your experiences on our roadways. RIPTA's SS4A consultant team will be on hand at this upcoming local event to allow community members to provide input:

Saturday, July 27, 2024, Farmers Market @ URI, 25 W Independence Way, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm

Safe Streets For All project staff will have a table at both events. Come and share your thoughts on local streets, safety issues, walking, biking, driving, transit, and more!

RIPTA was the recipient of a $5 million federal Action Plan Grant under the Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. This federal grant will allow RIPTA to develop a Safe Streets Action Plan covering 31 Rhode Island communities. The Action Plan is intended to provide a roadmap to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and public transit users. Once the plan is developed, municipalities will be able to apply for Implementation Grants through the SS4A program.
