Do you need a car to attend community college in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island, 100% of community and technical colleges have a public transit stop within walking distance.
Rhode Island leads New England in community college transit accessibility. In addition to transit stops, Rhode Island has invested in bus passes and improved schedules and routes for students.
Civic Mapping Initiative assessed the 6 campuses belonging to community and technical colleges in Rhode Island to determine which locations were accessible by public transit. Read more about our project and methodology.
Accessibility requires not only transit stops, but also schedules and routes that meet the needs of today’s college students. Our map does not include frequency or route information.
