The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) is proud to join transit agencies across the nation in celebrating National Transit Employee Appreciation Day on March 18. This annual event is an opportunity to recognize and thank the dedicated employees who keep Rhode Island moving every day.
From bus operators and maintenance crews to dispatchers, customer service representatives, and administrative staff, RIPTA employees play an essential role in ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient public transportation for thousands of riders across the state. Their hard work and commitment make a difference in the lives of Rhode Islanders by connecting communities, supporting businesses, and providing access to vital services.
