Construction has been completed on Rhode Island's first electric bus, in-line charging station.
Local, state and federal officials gathered Tuesday for a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the charging station along the R-Line.
The station can charge up to four electric buses simultaneously - while they are in service.
The charging station also features driver restrooms and an on-site snow-melt system.
Congressman Seth Magaziner says the charging station will power a fleet of electric buses that will improve air quality and transportation options for communities across the state.
