The main hub of the RIPTA system is Kennedy Plaza, a large bus terminal in downtown Providence, Rhode Island.

This corridor has BRT elements including limited stops, bus shelters with real-time information, bus/bike lanes, and signal priority.

These demand-responsive routes have fixed schedules for certain stops, but allow passengers to reserve trips within certain geographic areas.

[8] Woonsocket local service was expanded in 2011 to allow residents, many of whom do not own cars, to reach shopping areas outside town.

[10] RIPTA was required to seek federal permission before the extending the routes across state lines to South Attleboro in 2013.
