The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) offers public bus transportation to and from the cities of Providence (Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence) and Newport. In particular:
- The #20 bus goes to Kennedy Plaza by way of Elmwood and Roger Williams Park and Zoo, and takes approximately 40 minutes.
- The #14 bus goes directly to and from Kennedy Plaza and takes approximately 15–25 minutes; it also connects to Newport, Narragansett, and East Greenwich.
An intermodal station, completed in October 2010, includes an elevated walkway to the terminal, a rental car garage, and commuter rail parking. The MBTA commuter rail service to and from downtown Providence and Boston commenced on December 6, 2010 and was expanded on November 14, 2011. Scheduled are ten round trip weekday trains. Inbound trips are scheduled to take 90 minutes to Boston's South Station, with outbound trips taking 75 minutes. Service expansion south, to Wickford Junction, began in April 2012. Amtrak has formally stated they will not stop at the station for the foreseeable future citing lack of being economically feasible.
