The blue line would be a game changer for me! I could walk two blocks down the street and hop a bus to go to the airport. It would be incredible! @IndyGoBus
“You get around the world within one bound, but you can’t get to the airport. There’s no connectivity, and we have to make sure that our world-class airport has the ability to connect to each other.” -Mario Rodriguez, Executive Director of the @IAA_business (1/2)

In a recent AARP survey, registered voters in Marion County expressed their resounding support for a comprehensive transportation network - which includes bus rapid transit lines. The plans for the @IndyGoBus Blue Line should remain intact. #50PlusRidestheBus

While the General Assembly considers grinding plans for the Blue Line to a hault, it's important to know that registered voters staunchly support IndyGo and mass transit expansion in Indy. The numbers prove it: spr.ly/6013Jhto5

Indy loves transit.
In 2016, a majority of voters supported the referendum to expand Indianapolis public transit.
5 years later that support has GROWN with 74% of the surveyed voters supported dedicated bus lanes and level-boarding stops. states.aarp.org/indiana/new-…
