The IndyGo Foundation recently unveiled 22 upgraded bus stops as part of IndyGo’s Near Eastside Bus Stop Improvement Project.
The improvements residents will see will bring the stops into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and include sidewalks where none existed and concrete pads, making it possible for individuals in wheelchairs, parents with strollers, and bike riders to navigate to and from the bus stops safely.
The new bus stops mark the end of the Near Eastside Bus Stop Improvement Project. During the past year of construction, IndyGo has improved 79 bus stops at a cost of approximately $2 million.
This effort was supported by IndyGo, the City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works, the Federal Transit Administration, and corporate donors.
“We know every transit rider begins and ends as a pedestrian. These projects are a visible expression of our commitment to equity,” said IndyGo Foundation Executive Director Emily Meaux. “We look forward to continued support from donors as IndyGo begins work on its next bus stop improvement project.”
Near Eastside residents who use one of the upgraded bus stops will see signs acknowledging the donations from Fifth Third and MIBOR that helped improve two bus stops each, as well as 18 bus stops supported by IU Health.
“Improving connection to life’s essential services means ensuring IndyGo’s bus stops are accessible for every individual,” said IndyGo President and CEO Jennifer Pyrz. “Upgrades like these are necessary to ensure our riders have access to safe and reliable mobility experiences.”
IndyGo will continue working to improve the 2,362 bus stops in its network.
Next year, IndyGo will begin construction on the Far Eastside Bus Stop Improvement Project, which includes 55 stops and six new pedestrian traffic signals for improved safety and sidewalk connectivity.
