Have the Providence-Newport ferry operate as a year-round commuter ferry.
The Issue
To have the Rhode Island Department of Transportation & Public Transit Authority & either Seastreak or Interstate Navigation (aka Block Island Ferry) preferably operate the Providence-Newport Ferry as a year-round commuter ferry (aka Narragansett Bay Commuter Ferry). This includes the following:
- Ferry Dock at Rocky Point in Warwick with Rapid Bus Connections to TF Green Airport, Interlink Rail Terminal including the MBTA Wickford Junction Commuter Rail & RIDOT-RIPTA & P&W RR Rhode Island Railway Trans-State (Woonsocket-Westerly) & Trans-Metro (Woonsocket-Wickford Junction & Woonsocket-Quonset Point) Intrastate Commuter Rail-Rapid Transit Lines. As well as Warwick & Rhode Island Malls & Community College of Rhode Island Warwick Campus.
- Additional Ferry Docks on Prudence & Hog Islands for residence on the islands to Providence, Newport or Warwick-TF Green Airport. The docks would be floating docks for a passenger catamaran ferry.
- Have an additional Airport Commuter Ferry run between Bristol, Prudence & Hog Islands & Rocky Point, Warwick & TF Green Airport.
- Have the Prudence & Bay Island (Bristol-Prudence Island) Car Ferry be part of the Narragansett Bay Commuter Ferry.
- Additional Seasonal Ferry Terminal at Point Judith.
- Add the Narragansett Bay Commuter Ferry with additional catamaran passenger commuter ferryboats similar to the MV Ocean State.
