Thank you for your interest in building grassroots support for more and better transit in Indiana. ICAT members are passionately committed to transit as part of a balanced transportation system that will improve quality of life for all Hoosiers.

Fulfilling this vision is going to require hard work and cooperation, as transit is an issue that affects us all. Regardless of your economic situation, urban or rural setting, or concern for “going green” vs. “making green”, there are many reasons to care about improved transit and to support ICAT’s work.
