At Paths to Progress RI, we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and transparent information about Rhode Island’s biking and pedestrian infrastructure, transportation policies, and advocacy efforts. Our fact-checking policy ensures that the information we share is credible, well-sourced, and up-to-date.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that all content published on our website, reports, and communications is factually accurate and based on verifiable sources. Our team thoroughly researches data, statistics, and claims before sharing them with the public to maintain the highest standards of credibility.
Sources of Information
We obtain our information from trusted sources, including government agencies such as the Rhode Island Department of Transportation and municipal planning offices. We also rely on industry experts, transportation advocacy organizations, peer-reviewed academic research, and recognized news sources. Whenever possible, we provide references or context to support the information shared.
Verification Process
All factual statements, figures, and claims go through a multi-step verification process before publication. First, we conduct in-depth research and collect data from reliable sources. Next, we cross-check information with multiple authoritative sources to ensure consistency. Before publishing, our team reviews all content for accuracy and clarity. If new information becomes available or errors are identified, we promptly update the content to reflect the latest facts.
Corrections & Updates Policy
We recognize that information may change over time. If an error is found in our content, we verify the mistake through additional research and make the necessary corrections. Updates are clearly noted, and the content will reflect the most recent and accurate information available. If you identify a potential inaccuracy, please contact us at 401-297-2153 or alex@ribike.org so we can address it.
Transparency & Editorial Independence
While we collaborate with stakeholders, including government agencies and advocacy groups, our fact-checking process remains independent and unbiased. We do not publish content based on political, financial, or personal influence, ensuring that our work is guided by factual accuracy rather than external interests.
User Contributions & Third-Party Content
If content is contributed by external writers or partners, it undergoes the same rigorous fact-checking process before publication. Additionally, when using third-party data, we may include disclaimers to clarify its source and reliability.
At Paths to Progress RI, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and integrity. If you have any concerns or corrections, please reach out—we value transparency and accountability in all our communications.
