Red Line All-Electric BRT Capital Investment Program Project Profiles: FY 2017

The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo) proposes to build a bus rapid transit (BRT) line connecting the Indianapolis central business district (CBD) with the Village of Broad Ripple to the north, and the University of Indianapolis campus to the south. The project includes approximately 7.7 miles of exclusive or semi-exclusive bus lanes, traffic signal priority at intersections, station stops with weather protection, level vehicle boarding, and other amenities such as real-time bus arrival information, bike racks and selfservice fare vending at stations. The project includes the purchase of 12 60-foot electric battery-powered buses. Service would be provided 20 hours per day, 365 days per year, with buses every ten minutes during the day on weekdays and weekends, and every 30 minutes in the evenings. Existing bus service will also operate on the BRT route between 38th Street and Washington Street in the CBD, making the effective headway five minutes between vehicles on this 4.6 mile segment.
