Would a project that involves getting people to pledge to take the bus for a certain period of time if they live and work in Providence apply to this grant program?
We could make that work. A key hurdle we had in getting people to board the bus when we started the RIPTA program was lack of a swipe card. Now that they’ve been implemented we have seen an increase in commuters. Another good project along these lines is to measure how many cars we are reducing through the RIPTA program.
