operations and administration. The aim of this review is to uncover ways to enhance efficiency and

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.

27

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

28

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

29

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

30

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

31

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

32

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

33

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

34

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