The Indiana Regional Cities Initiative: A Look Inside
The Indiana Regional Cities Initiative submission spotlight for this week will focus on our state capital, Indianapolis.
There are three priority projects on which Indianapolis will be focusing in their $30 million proposal. They are:
REGIONAL TRANSIT - RED LINE BUS CORRIDOR 
The 'Red Line' is a 35-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line that will run from Westfield and Carmel through Indianapolis to Greenwood. Proposed as the nation's first BRT line using fully-electric vehicles, the Red Line plan has already attracted national attention, federal planning funds, and regional consensus (the intensive five-year Indy Connect transit input campaign). In the short term, a Regional Cities grant would help the RDA leverage an additional $45M in Federal Transit Administration construction funds.
