"Survey respondents say they spend an average of 16 to 46 minutes going to or from work; 75 percent of those people say that's too long. What's more, 94 percent say the problem is only going to get worse, and nearly eight of 10 say that current projects aren't going to solve traffic congestion problems."

The survey performed by the Lacy Leadership Association revealed that 91% of respondents are in favor of implementing a rapid transit system in Indianapolis. 56% of those surveyed said they would ride transit to work, and more than 71% said they would like to ride transit into downtown Indianapolis for sports events.
