Purple Line Project Information and Volunteers Needed
IndyGo is hosting 1 virtual public meeting, 2 open houses, and 1 Purple Line Party this month to share updates and hear from the community about the future rapid transit line. The Purple Line will bring frequent transit and infrastructure improvements to 38th Street and Post Road. Construction is expected to start in 2021 and last through 2023. Click here to learn more about the Purple Line project and the ways to be engaged in project planning.

In September, IndyGo and Briometrix will map the accessibility of the existing pathways near future Purple Line stations and are seeking volunteer help. The project will result in a visual map of the level of difficulty to traverse the area, especially for individuals with limited mobility. Click here to learn more about volunteering.

WEBINAR: Congestion Pricing's Role in Building More Equitable Transportation Systems
Congestion pricing is an idea that has broad support from transportation practitioners. Well-designed congestion pricing policies can not only minimize impacts, but can also address current inequities in today’s transportation system by dedicating revenues toward improving non-single occupancy vehicle options, like public transit. In this webinar, panelists will discuss how to build equity in to the process of developing congestion pricing, the policy itself, and how to measure equity in transportation systems.
