More unhealthy air today, free RIPTA rides

It's another unhealthy air day.

The Department of Environmental Management predicts air quality will approach unhealthy levels, the same prediction over the past couple of days.

That means RIPTA will offer free rides, except on special service routes.

The poor air is due to high levels of fine particles in the ambient air, the DEM said in a news release. Fine particles are produced by many natural and manmade sources, including factories, power plants, motor vehicles, fires and windblown dust.
