WOONSOCKET, RI: Rhode Island Transit Authority (RIPTA) announced that it will be resuming its annual Beach Bus schedule just in time for the summer season.

“It is great news that RIPTA will once again offer Beach Bus service to the Woonsocket community,” said Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt. “Expanding public transportation opportunities is important to our residents and RIPTA deserves a big thank you for expanding service so our community can enjoy access to our state beaches during the warm summer months.”
