streamline costs, ensuring a more effective use of resources. This evaluation shall encompass a

range of areas, including but not limited to, a comprehensive analysis of the fixed-route service.

Analysis should include operating expenses, ridership figures, cost per rider, and other pertinent

data across all routes and serviced regions. A review focusing on the cost-effectiveness of the

agency’s diverse transit services will be a key component of this study. Additionally, the study

shall explore different transit service delivery models, incorporating successful strategies from

other transit systems; financial planning strategies; agency management structure, capital plan

development, and funding strategies; project management; and transit master plan scope and

schedule. By March 1, 2025, the Rhode Island public transit authority shall compile and present a

report to the governor, the speaker of the house, and the president of the senate. This report will

summarize the findings of the study and include recommendations aimed at fostering sustainable

and effective transit operations.
