On time

The Department of Community Services contracted with Transpro to complete a Transit Implementation Strategy Plan. On May 1st, 2025 Transpro and DOCS finalized the plan and determined short term to long term recommendations on how the City of Carmel can provide public transportation.

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.
