Sad to see Cameron (and others) leaving RI, but understand his reasons. Together, housing and transportation are the two biggest household expenses. @RIPTA_RI @RIHouseofReps @RISenate.

Latest in a long line of @RIPTA_RI efficiency studies . there are no efficiencies to be found that would close the budget gap without service reductions. Why do you think it's so hard for ppl to comprehend that our transit system has been efficient?
