Public Comment: RI State Transportation Improvement Plan

RI and CT residents: Make your voice heard for upgrading Westerly Station!

The RI Division of Statewide Planning has opened the public comment period for its 2026-2035 State Transportation Improvement Program. The deadline to comment is July 30th, 2025. 

Please send in a comment expressing your support for the Westerly Platform project. The draft plan already calls for the construction of high-level platforms at Westerly Station, which is a prerequisite to extending Shore Line East. The more enthusiasm that Rhode Island sees for the project, both from RI and CT residents, the more likely it is to make it a priority. The sooner the platforms are upgraded, the sooner we can extend Shore Line East!
