(Providence, RI) -- Rhode Island officials are announcing that public restrooms at three transit facilities which were closed during the pandemic are re-opening. They are at the Kennedy Plaza in Providence, the Pawtucket Transit Center and the Newport Transportation and Visitors Center. The Kennedy Plaza plan calls for the city of Providence to retrofit restrooms at the nearby public skating rink for the use of Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus operators. RIPTA had kept the bathrooms closed despite public outcry, partially citing the need for bus drivers to have their own toilets.
