Why is the Blue Line Essential? Our world-class airport deserves world-class bus rapid transit for visitors and employees to quickly travel to and from the airport.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of potholes on Washington St. vs potholes on College Ave.
What’s that? You don’t see any potholes along College Avenue? I wonder if the $40 million of infrastructure improvements as part of the Red Line had anything to do with it?
Washington St. hasn't been a highway for a long time, but cars still drive through residential neighborhoods, like Irvington, as if they're cruising on the freeway. Dedicated bus lanes along the Blue Line will make streets safer for drivers and pedestrians.

We are announcing that Route 39 will not be seeking the nomination for Official Bus Route of Indy's East Side. Route 39 will serve the remainder of its term before stepping away in October. We are fully endorsing the Purple Line to take its place.

Someone said that “Nobody” rides the bus,
but we checked with the 6,730,357 ridership we had last year and not a single one of them was named “Nobody.”
All you may see here is a dedicated bus lane, but what you don't see are new sidewalks, curb ramps, street resurfacing, multi-use paths, new traffic lights, and drainage improvements. Dedicated bus lanes do more than you realize.

for stopping by and showing appreciation to our operators and all our essential workers!
The Indianapolis metro area has been the largest contributor to economic growth in the Midwest over the last three years—pretty amazing growth considering it's half the population of Detroit MSA and less than 1/4 the population of Chicago MSA
We're not saying you need to take the bus to work every single day, but look how much gas money you can save by taking the bus to work just ONE DAY per week. 🤑
Purple Line Construction will start soon! Plan ahead and know your detour. Beginning on or after March 10, eastbound and westbound lanes on 38th Street from Fall Creek Parkway to Orchard Avenue will be closed for 10 days. Watch this video to learn more. 📺⏬

Happy Leap Day! The last time we saw Feb. 29, the Red Line was 5 months old and the Purple Line was 2 years away from even breaking ground. Imagine what transit in Indianapolis will look like the next Leap Day, February 29, 2028!

IndyGo covers more than 400+ square miles. That’s bigger than Chicago, Boston & Denver. Without public transit, it would be impossible for everyone in Marion County to have equitable access to mobility.

21,800,000 is our lucky number. What a coincidence that IndyGo was awarded a USDOT Federal Grant worth $21.8 million! Thank you SO MUCH to the
@USDOT
for these funds which will go towards critical traffic safety needs along part of the Blue Line corridor.
The Blue Line is essential to business!

Out of 4,000+ transit agency CEO's, less than 0.5% are Black women. Our President and CEO, Inez Evans, is one of them.
50% of our executives are women.
50% of our bus drivers are women.
This is IndyGo and we know who run the world!
For this Transit Throwback Thursday, we’re going back to 2016 when 59% of Marion County voters passed a mass transit referendum to fund the expansion of Bus Rapid Transit in Indianapolis!
You want a study? We've got a study!
A recent Red Line traffic study shows a nearly 40% reduction in crashes WITHOUT a reduction of traffic speeds. Dedicated bus lanes make roads safer AND transit more efficient!
#TransitIsEssential
Construction begins today on the first phase of the IndyGo Red Line bus project, including roadway & sidewalk improvements along Shelby Street. Learn more:

Why is the Blue Line essential?
Indianapolis DPW Director, Brandon Herget, says the Blue Line will bring critical infrastructure improvements, including roads, ADA crosswalks and stormwater drainage.
#TransitIsEssential
Someone said that the bus is a 20th century solution to a 21st century problem because people can use an app and have a car pick them up.
So we did the math....
We're thrilled to announce our newest Director of Communications,

@IndyGoBus
Passengers should pull the "stop request cord" on the Red Line as the bus approaches the designated station. If there are no stop requests or passengers waiting to board, the bus will continue through the station without stopping. Thank you for riding IndyGo.
Transit is more than just buses! A major part of IndyGo’s Purple Line is creating new and SAFE infrastructure for pedestrians on Indy’s east side. Safe roads for drivers, passengers, bikers, and pedestrians! 🚴 🚶
We’re encouraged to see the increased level of collaboration and education taking place in Irvington surrounding dedicated bus lanes and the Blue Line. We encourage any others to sign up for a 1-on-1 Blue Line Business Meeting.

Thank you to
@SecretaryPete
for visiting Indy and for all his kind words about the work IndyGo is doing to advance safety and accessibility in transit, as well the commitment of his department in federally funding the critical work being done.
Not going to complain about getting a shout-out from the U.S. Secretary of Transportation! We're so appreciative to Sec. Pete Buttigieg for visiting Indy yesterday and reaffirming his department's commitment to fund IndyGo’s innovative, equitable & critical transit projects.
