  • Special Events and Tourism Services
    Transit Strategies SEASONAL AND SPECIAL EVENT SERVICE Public transit, and transportation in general, are often planned to serve trips that are made day- in and day-out. However, some trips are made only seasonally, and others are made to and from special events – for example, WaterFire in Providence and the Newport Jazz Festival. Seasonal and special event transit services serve these types of trips, so as to: Mitigate traffic and parking congestion Provide transportation choices that do not require use of a car Provide access for those who don’t own cars Support the local economy by providing services that encourage tourism RIPTA Beach Bus Ad Types of Services Public transit can be expanded to provide service for different types of events and recreational needs, through a variety of modes including buses, shuttles, trains, and ferries. Seasonal Destinations: At many seasonal destinations, such as Rhode Island’s beaches, peak season travel volumes are very high during the peak season but very low during the off-season. Seasonal service provides service when demand is high but not at other times. At other seasonal destinations, such as Newport, there is demand for transit year-round, but demand is much higher in the summer due to an influx of visitors, summer residents, and summer workers. Sporting and Cultural Events: Sporting and cultural events draw large crowds that create traffic and parking issues. Special event service is designed to serve specific events that draw large numbers of attendees. The special event service can be new service or more frequent service on existing routes. Transit Strategies | 1 Year-Round Tourism Services: Agencies can run shuttles or services targeted at tourists year-round, decreasing the need to rent cars while travelling.
