Description

A commuter line feasibility study will assess the feasibility of expanding the Indianapolis Red Line to Carmel. The Red Line will promote use of public transportation over commuting by private vehicles, provide low-cost transportation for individuals who do not own a vehicle, and improve air quality from reduced vehicle emissions. This strategy builds upon the Comprehensive Plan recommendation of research for the establishment of a commuter line as well as the existing efforts from the Department of Community Services to draft a study.
