(INDIANAPOLIS) For a second straight year, Indianapolis senators are leading a charge to slash
funding for the IndyGo bus system.
18 Senate Republicans, led by three of the four Republicans from Indianapolis, are co-sponsoring
a bill to withhold up to a third of IndyGo’s income tax money, and block the planned Blue Line from
the airport to the east side. Senator Mike Young slams IndyGo as “a failed bus system,” and

Lawmakers Hear Bill That Could Impact Rapid Transit Lines
Indiana lawmakers heard a bill Thursday that could set IndyGo’s rapid transit lines back. Much of the testimony was directed at the Blue Line planned for Indianapolis’s westside with service to the airport.

Under current law, IndyGo must raise 10 percent of operating costs through non-fare, non-tax sources, like state and federal grants.The proposed legislation would change requirements to not count the grant funding. IndyGo President and CEO Inez Evans said not allowing federal grants to count is harmful.
