Rider of the Week Nicole has been riding RIPTA since she was a teen. Between #parking costs and peace of mind, this Downtown #Providence resident prefers to leave driving to the pros. Say hi to Nicole next time you're at Providence Noodle Bar. 🍜 Psst - try the Mala Rose Ragu!

NEW: “The strategy [building homes for millennials who hadn’t had kids yet] worked — until millennials aged out of it. As they now enter their 30s-40s & start having children, they’re ditching cities where the housing stock never caught up to their changing needs.”
Bad strategy. Design for kids.

Cities made a bet on millennials — but forgot one key thing
Can cities learn to love kids again?

#RiderOfTheWeek Stuart feels at home using transit to explore his new life in #RhodeIsland. Growing up in New York City, he didn't learn to drive until age 30 - and that's how he likes it! He traded in his keys for a bus pass which he uses to get to work and favorite restaurants.

Today was disheartening. It will be a moment that I’ll always remember. As a daily rider, I sympathize w/ the challenges that riders will experiencing statewide. I am not going anywhere and will work hard to keep moving transit forward for RI. (Strictly my personal opinion, not a RIPTA statement).
