On Monday, Senator Jack Reed formally announced that he has secured more than $1.3 million in federal funding for the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority.
With this money, the RIPTA plans to upgrade its fleet of over 200 buses that provide convenient and affordable transportation to tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders.
This is yet another example of the diligent work Senator Reed has been doing for both our country and the people of Rhode Island. On top of this acquisition for the RIPTA, Senator Reed has also been tirelessly working on behalf of Rhode Island’s struggling homeowners.
As the election year heats up, and Senator Reed prepares to ratchet up his campaign, it has never been more clear that Senator Reed is the right choice for our state.
