What a pleasure it was to visit Still On Main with @RepGabeAmo on the bus line he grew up using. Stay tuned for a #rhodiesintransit about how public transit can connect each distinct town and neighborhood with each other and the aspirations we have for our communities.

While growing up,
@ttanzi95.bsky.social was ahead of her time - delaying a rite of passage (getting a driver’s license) when most everyone else couldn’t wait.

We caught up in Narragansett (on the #14 bus to
Cool beans Cafe) to discuss the state of transit in Rhode Island. #rhodiesintransit
