The state of Rhode Island had no plan for waterborne passenger transportation, even though the state sits astride Narragansett Bay and has several existing ferry operations. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) recognized the need to create such a plan to clarify the desired role of waterborne transportation in the state’s transportation system and the agency’s responsibility for its development. RIDOT undertook the development of a waterborne passenger transportation plan to guide decisions about capital investments, to provide a basis for seeking federal funding, and to assist ferry operators in their decisions about establishing or expanding services. The plan addresses a broad range of issues and includes a set of policies and actions for the state’s waterborne passenger transportation system.
