Who's on the path

RIDOT and the University of Rhode Island collaborated in a research project in 2002 to determine the number of people who bike to work. This examined data from local bikeways, ferry services, RIPTA’s Rack n’ Ride Program, and MBTA commuter rail service.


In 2007, Rails to Trails Conservancy reported that the East Bay Bike Path is the fifth busiest in the nation with about 1.1 million trail users each year.
