This $301,818,364 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Capital Investment Grants program (CFDA 20.500) will be utilized by the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (Indygo) to construct the 24-mile Blue Line bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The project includes the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of the BRT line, which will largely replace the existing Route 8 local bus service. Key activities include building 30 BRT stations, purchasing 18 articulated clean diesel buses, installing transit signal priority, and making infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks, roadways, and signals. The expected outcomes are to provide more frequent and reliable transit service as well as improved access to jobs, healthcare, education, and other community assets for riders along the corridor. Indygo will be the primary implementing entity for this multi-year capital project, which is scheduled for completion by March 2033.
