RhodeWorks is the plan by which we live at RIDOT

To stimulate growth that includes everyone, we need to attract businesses, build skills, and modernize our infrastructure. Rebuilding our roads and bridges will accelerate our economic comeback both because it will put people to work now, and because it will make Rhode Island a more attractive place for businesses to invest.

• RhodeWorks became law in 2016, with help from many mayors
• RhodeWorks includes asset management, complete reorganization of RIDOT, strict accountability
• The 10-Year Plan is the roadmap. It is also known as the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
• Asset Management approach to selecting projects is saving
  $1B in first 10 years
• No project starts until we identify funding
• Projects selected based on their life cycle, not politics

Resilience Improvement Plan

The objective of this new program is to help make surface transportation more resilient to natural hazards, including climate change, sea level rise, flooding, extreme weather events, and other natural disasters through support of planning activities, resilience improvements, community resilience and evacuation routes, and at-risk coastal infrastructure. For RIDOT, this provides the opportunity to leverage additional resources to develop a comprehensive policy for managing and integrating resilience into operations.
