Full Speed Ahead For Rapid Transit To Indianapolis
The Indianapolis area could see the region's first rapid-transit line as soon as 2011, serving as many as 20,000 to 30,000 people on a Northeast route that will connect Hamilton County with downtown.
Worsening traffic congestion clogging roads in the greater Indianapolis area has caused the Indianapolis Regional Transportation Council to vote in favor of implementing a mass transit system--the first in the metro region--to serve local commuters. Planning the next steps for the initial corridor, which is expected to last about eight months, will focus on selecting a route, choosing a transit mode, and resolving funding questions. The endeavor is estimated to cost as much as $850 million.
