Next we need a guide for how to turn to enter a busy road when there is a center lane available

There isn't much RIPTA service in my area but often take public transit when I travel and I always make sure to talk to the driver. Luckily i haven't been on many packed buses so it's been easy to say, "hey, I'm new to this route and need to get off at XYZ stop, I'm gonna follow along but would appreciate your help". I also try to board last so that I can observe how others are paying, but also helps if you're fumbling for change/app/ tickets, the driver might just say "take your seat and pay before you leave." I don't know much about accessibility features on RIPTA but there's likely a customer service line you can call to ask what to expect.

Kinda outside of your question but it may be of interest to you: there is a RI RIPTA Riders group organized with the George Wiley Center in Pawtucket who stay on top of the local public transit world and makes sure riders have a say when it comes to proposed policy and route changes.

Good luck and enjoy your excursions!

Over the summer, the USFWS at Kettle Pond in Charlestown hosted free archery days and provided all equipment. I don't happen to know the plans for 2023; just putting it on your radar.

A campaign will spend more effort contacting people who don't have a solid voting history, than contacting those who vote frequently. They are assuming you will show up to vote already!
