INTERMODALSTRATEGIES I.3.aI.3.bI.3.cI.3.dI.3.eI.3.fI.3.gI.3.hI.3.iI.3.jCreate a shared vision for Kennedy Plaza (including Providence Station) as a major intermodal terminal to connect local bus service tointercity bus and rail, commuter rail, paratransit and taxi services, and pedestrian and bicycle routes.Continue existing commuter rail service to Providence through the Pilgrim Partnership. Extend Boston-Providence commuter railservice south in incremental steps to T.F. Green State Airport and Wickford Junction under a Phase I start-up service. Additional sitesin Cranston, East Greenwich, Kingston, Pawtucket/Central Falls, Westerly, and West Davisville should be considered and evaluatedbased on demand, operations, infrastructure requirements, site availability, economic development opportunities, community support,and cost. Long term passenger rail opportunities may include Blackstone Valley and Aquidneck Island. Support extension of MBTAcommuter service to Fall River. Use the FRIP track for passenger rail service.Consider additional "mini transit hubs" (similar to Pawtucket and Newport) at the Pastore Complex, Quonset Davisville, all stateairports, and at other appropriate locations.Maintain and improve connections and amenities at existing terminals, including Point Street Landing, Block Island (Old and NewHarbor) Newport Gateway, the Port of Galilee, Kingston Station, Westerly Station, and Woonsocket Depot.Maintain, improve, and expand network of Park and Ride lots. Add capacity to lots when they reach 80% usage.Utilize existing ferry docks and landings (Point Street, Waterplace Park, Galilee, Block Island, Newport Gateway, Fort Adams, QuonsetDavisville, Bristol, Portsmouth, Prudence Island, East Greenwich) to their full potential and add new facilities as demand warrants inEast Providence, Warwick (Rocky Point), and other Bay communities. Locate docking facilities for various water transportation modesin Newport. Accommodate high-speed ferry, other ferry services, cruise ship docking, harbor shuttles, and other tourist waterservices.Overcome regulatory barriers to providing RIPTA service to rail stations and Park and Ride lots in Attleboro and Franklin, MA, andStonington, CT. Enhance RIPTA bus service to Rhode Island train stations.Promote bike/bus/train intermodal connections; for example, by marketing the availability of bike racks on RIPTA buses and byproviding bicycle facilities at major intermodal centers.Work with Amtrak, private ferry service operators, and the travel industry to develop streamlined procedures for carrying bicycles ontrains and ferries, and to provide integrated route and schedule information and reservation services oriented toward touring bicyclists.Promote the concept of “Complete Streets” in which roadways are designed to function as intermodal corridors for motorists, as wellas pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. Features may include spaces for buses to pull of the road, wider sidewalks toaccommodate transit shelters, ATIS, enhanced pedestrian features, and bike lanes.Transportation 2035 (2012 Update)State Guide Plan Element 611RI Statewide Planning ProgramPage 5-29December 2012BICYCLEDESIGNECONOMICDEVELOPMENTEMERGENCYRESPONSEENVIRONMENTEQUITYFINANCEHIGHWAYINTERMODALLAND USE ANDCORRIDORSPEDESTRIANPLANNINGSAFETYTRANSIT
