The North Providence Public Schools and the North Providence Police Dept. have partnered with BusPatrol to launch a new school bus safety program to protect students on the ride to and from school.

The North Providence Public Schools and the North Providence Police Dept. have partnered with BusPatrol to launch a new school bus safety program to protect students on the ride to and from school.
 Every year, more than 45 million motorists illegally pass stopped school buses in the US, putting students at risk as they travel to and from school. These illegal passing incidents can result in tragedy, and it’s crucial that we work together to reduce reckless driving around school buses and make roads safer for our students.
To combat this issue, we’ve partnered with BusPatrol to launch a new school bus safety program. Through the program, all of the district buses are now equipped with cameras powered by artificial intelligence to detect when vehicles break the law and fail to stop. This evidence is shared with law enforcement for review, and if a violation has occurred, a summons is sent to
the registered vehicle owner.
 
Starting on April 1, 2025, violators will receive a warning letter with no fine. During this time, an educational campaign will remind motorists of school bus stopping laws and provide road safety tips to children for getting on and off the bus. Enforcement will begin on May 1, 2025. Per Rhode Island state law, the penalty for illegally passing a stopped school bus is a civil fine of between $250 to $500, and/or suspension of the driving license for a maximum of 30 days. This education and awareness will continue after enforcement begins, ensuring the community stays informed and roads remain safer for everyone.

PROVIDENCE, RI — Today, Governor Dan McKee issued a message to the public urging Rhode Islanders who may have been impacted by the data security threat to RIBridges to take five key steps to protect their personal information.

“Right now, the most important thing for potentially impacted Rhode Islanders to do is protect your personal information,” said Governor Dan McKee. “Freezing your credit, contacting the credit bureaus, setting up multiple levels of security, and staying alert will help keep your identity safe. Together, we will navigate this challenge.”

RIBridges is the health and human services database managed by Deloitte. Rhode Islanders who may have been impacted by this security threat are encouraged to:

1. Freeze Your Credit
• You should contact all three credit reporting agencies to do so.
Equifax 1-888-298-0045
Experian:  1-888-397-3742
TransUnion: 1-800-916-8800

2. Order a Free Credit Report
• You should request from one of the listed reporting agencies
• You can also access a free credit report online here 

3. Place a Fraud Alert on Your Files
• You can ask one of the credit reporting agencies for help.
• This is free, and it lets creditors know to contact you before any new accounts can be opened in your name.

4. Use Multi-factor Authentication
• Double protection makes it much harder for cybercriminals to access your information.

5. Be Aware
• Never share personal information – such as your social security number, date of birth or password – through an unsolicited e-mail, call or text. Legitimate companies and banks do not know your password and will never ask for it.

Great news for North Providence residents. Please follow the instructions below to apply for financial assistance if you received damage from these storms that occurred on September 10-13, 2023.

PROVIDENCE, RI – Governor Dan McKee announced today that President Joseph Biden has approved federal disaster assistance for Providence County, Rhode Island to support those impacted by the storms that included severe flooding and tornadoes between from September 10-13, 2023.

President Biden’s action makes federal funding available to affected individuals and initiates SBA disaster assistance for businesses in Providence County. Individual assistance can include grants for temporary housing, home repairs and disaster legal services. SBA assistance includes low-interest loans to help business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

“For the last several months, many of our cities and towns in Rhode Island have felt the lasting impacts from the September storm,” said Governor Dan McKee. “I thank President Biden and FEMA for their approval which will help affected families and businesses who suffered losses.”

To roll out the assistance available, President Biden has named Robert V. Fogel as the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected areas.

Individuals and business owners who sustained losses in the designated areas can begin applying for assistance by registering online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, by calling 1-800-621-3362 or by using the FEMA APP. If you use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA the number for that service.
