Rally for IndyGo Funding
When: Thursday, May 20: 4:45 - 5:30 (IndyGo hearing follows at 5:30)
Where: Indianapolis Convention Center- Capitol Street entrance
Who: Indiana Citizens’ Alliance for Transit and all citizens interested in public transit in Marion County
Why: IndyGo is facing a $3 million shortfall in funding for 2010. If this deficit is not eliminated, IndyGo will be forced to make further service cuts, leaving many Indianapolis residents, including those with disabilities, without transportation to work and community services, and leaving Indianapolis businesses with employees who can’t get to work. The IndyGo cuts will come even as bus ridership has grown in the first quarter of this year, and city residents and businesses are still struggling to recover from the economic recession.
The Indiana Citizens’ Alliance for Transit is calling on Mayor Ballard, the Indianapolis Marion County City-County Council, and IndyGo management to maintain current IndyGo funding and service levels.
