Rapid Transit Survey

Link to Rapid Transit Survey

I’ve lived in two cities with rapid transit, Vancouver British Columbia and Denver Colorado. In both cities, I moved there before they had rapid transit and in both cities I saw it transform the cities. My employer in Denver actually paid for our transit passes and I loved it. I used to walk to a bus or take the park and ride over to the light rail and then ride the light rail into work.

On the ride, I would make new friends, read the newspaper, catch up on work… and never worry about parking, gas, snow, ice, traffic… it would start my day off perfect. Everyone in those two cities utilized it, whether it was for a football game or a night on the town. I can’t say enough about light rail.

In looking at the growth of the region and our great downtown area, light rail would transform Indianapolis. Fishers and Carmel could relieve the horrific traffic issues they are going through and folks could move further out, taking advantage of the commute being less expensive.

I would urge all of our local readers to take this important survey!
