Governor's Blue Ribbon Panel on Transportation Funding to Host Four-Part Series of Public Meetings - First One September 15
Rhode Island, like many states across the nation, is facing a transportation funding crisis. That is why this past March, Governor Carcieri established the Blue Ribbon Panel on Transportation Funding to explore the State's current transportation funding structure.
Since its inception, the Panel has been reviewing the State's transportation funding structure, funding needs, as well as future funding options. The Panel is now looking for public input and is therefore announcing four public meetings that will begin on Monday, September 15. The meetings, which will be held at 7 p.m., will provide the general public the opportunity to voice their opinions on the State's current funding structure and offer suggestions for improvement.
The Blue Ribbon Panel Public Meeting schedule is as follows:
Monday, September 15, 7 p.m., Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) Flanagan Campus, 1762 Louisquisset Pike, Lincoln.
Wednesday, September 17, 7 p.m., CCRI Newport County, One John H. Chafee Boulevard, Newport.
Tuesday, September 23, 7 p.m., University of Rhode Island (URI), Kingston.
Thursday, September 25, 7 p.m., Rhode Island College (RIC), 600 Mount Pleasant Avenue,
Providence.
