This afternoon, Governor Chafee and State Police Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Studley visited RIPTA headquarters in Providence.
The purpose of their visit was for Lieutenant Colonel Studley, who will be assisting RIPTA with management and helping to improve operations, to get to know the employees with whom he will be working. It was also an opportunity for Governor Chafee to speak directly with RIPTA personnel about the situation and assure them of his support for the many hardworking, honest employees who were not involved with any alleged wrongdoing.
