Under the terms of a deal announced Friday, the city must contribute an extra $15 million of funding for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. The city is also committing to $11.5 million more in fiscal year 2026 and additional funding after that.

“When it comes to the spring sports and it comes to the RIPTA bus passes, yes, we’re making sure that that’s going to continue,” Montañez said.
