The proposed IndyGo Downtown Transit Center
IndyGoThe Indianapolis area is inching closer to the development of a rapid-transit bus line. Indianapolis and IndyGo have received a $2 million federal grant to help with the planning process.
The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, grant will fund engineering and environmental planning for the Indianapolis Red Line—a proposed 28-mile rapid-transit bus route from Greenwood to Westfield.
The Indianapolis area has received two TIGER grants since the program’s creation in 2009. The city received a $20 million grant to expand the Cultural Trail in 2010, and last year IndyGo landed a $10 million dollar grant to purchase remanufactured buses that had been converted from diesel to electric.
City and IndyGo officials will provide additional details at a press conference next Tuesday.
