The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) will suspend service on Route 211 Blue Line and on the URI Hill Climber on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 due to class cancellation and office closure at the University of Rhode Island (URI).  In addition, the Route 210 Kingston Flex will not provide service from the Richmond Park N’ Ride to the URI Campus.  URI will be closed on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 to accommodate Election Day. 

Regular service on both the Route 211 Blue Line and the Hill Climber will resume on Wednesday, November 7, 2012.  Route 210 Kingston Flex will resume service to the Richmond Park N’ Ride on Wednesday as well.
