RIPTA launches free bus service out of Central Falls

  • Date: 03/07/2022

Public transit riders out of Central Falls can take the bus for free under a state pilot program that started Monday.

Gov. Daniel J. McKee joined with other state, local and federal officials in a press conference to announce the debut of the “Ride Free in Central Falls” program. The year-long effort, funded mostly through a federal grant, will offer free rides on Rhode Island Public Transit Authority buses to riders who start their trips out of Central Falls.

The program uses geofencing technology to create a virtual ring around the city of Central Falls, identifying when passengers board a RIPTA bus from within that boundary and waiving their bus fare.
