A BETTEr WAY TO GO

Priority signaling and

dedicated lanes along

much of the route

will allow quick travel

from station to station.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a faster and more efficient, more comfortable

and customer-friendly mass transportation system. This high capacity

solution uses buses that travel in exclusive lanes to avoid traffic and

will have stops about every half mile. With frequent all day service,

real-time arrival information and comfortable station platforms; BRT will

significantly improve urban mobility and connectivity.

TrAnsit Oriented Development

The development of Red Line Rapid Transit will provide more than

just frequent and convenient transportation to areas along its route.

The redevelopment, following its completion, will boost household

income, property values and money for public works.

IndY Connect

In an effort to improve mass transit in the central Indiana region, a comprehensive plan known as Indy Connect has been created. This plan would introduce five rapid transit routes across central Indiana and increase the frequency and operating hours of local bus service.

Phase One of the Red Line will begin with the announcement of Federal funding in Spring 2016. In order to fund Phases Two and Three of the Red Line and further expand local bus service and add new rapid transit lines, central Indiana residents could be asked to approve a local income tax on a local referendum between 2016 and 2018.

More Connected

With the approval of the Federal grant in Spring of 2016 for the construction of phase one of the Red Line, existing IndyGo routes will be realigned and optimized to connect with the new rapid service. A funding referendum between 2016 and 2018 would bring additional improvements to local bus service, with longer hours and more frequency.

Most importantly, the plan calls for a “high-frequency grid” where several cross-town routes connect all across the most populated areas of Indianapolis, offering quick transfers and improved travel times for hundreds of thousands of residents. The referendum would also fund future phases of the rapid transit network including the Blue and Purple lines.

Some streets that operate as one-way in 2015 are assumed to be converted to two-way by 2018 in this network.

2018 IndyGo Network Alternative:High Ridership + New Funding

Frequency

06/30/15

This network was designed for a 2018 operating budget of about $92 million, and for more ridership than IndyGo currently achieves, and therefore less coverage.

Certain service features are not visible on this map, especially:

• The Red Line offers 10 minute fre-quency, 16 hours per weekday.

• All the other frequent routes offer 15 minute frequency also for 16 hours per weekday.


LAnd Use OptimizAtion

When a rapid transit service like the Red Line is created, the demand for development along the corridor increases, meaning more jobs and higher property value. The key is to ensure that land use and zoning ordinances are utilized to support the kind of development that the community wants and to restrict undesirable uses that shouldn’t be located next to transit stations.

When the process is complete, the strategic plan will help developers find great opportunities along the Red Line, and the zoning policies will encourage developers to build neighborhoods that are vibrant, pedestrian friendly and easily accessible by all modes of transportation.

land use changes Land use development policies and zoning will be changed and customized around each of the Red Line’s stations while ensuring that the respective neighborhood or business district remains the same in style (ie: disallowing big commercial buildings from entering into historically residential neighborhoods). The zoning and land-use will also be customized to allow for improvement and growth of: • Small businesses such as coffee shops, eateries, and shops • Residential sidewalks and streets that surround the stations • New housing near stations as appropriate • Improved street lights

The current IndyGo network of local bus routes will need to be altered in order to maximize connectivity with the Red Line. IndyGo Forward, a planning initiative to improve local bus service has been working to improve connectivity in many ways, including: • More cross-town routes • Higher frequency of buses arriving at stops • Longer operating hours

These changes are dependant on the passing of a local referendum between 2016-2018, which would then provide funding to construct the Rapid Transit lines while also improving and adding to the local connectivity of IndyGo’s current 31 bus routes.

Left Turns/PArking ImpActs

In order to maintain the safety of dedicated lanes for the Red Line, Meridian Street and College Avenue will implement some left turn restrictions. Left Turns will only be allowed at certain signalized intersections, and cross traffic at smaller non-signalized intersections will be restricted with a concrete median.

College Avenue between 38th and 66th Streets:

• Shared bi-directional bus-only lane minimizes parking losses

• Some parking losses at stations and intersections

Meridian Street between 18th and 38th Streets:

• One dedicated bus-only lane in each direction eliminates parking on one side of the street for the whole segment

Capitol Avenue between Maryland and 18th Streets:

• Dedicated northbound bus-only lane eliminates parking on the east side of the street and eliminates metered parking in the downtown area

• Southbound bus-only lane is shared with for right turning vehicles

CONCRETE BARRIER

PArking ImPActs

However, drivers will still be able to access their destinations by making a U-turn at the next available intersection, which will be allowable for passenger cars in most locations.


TrAffic ImpActs

IndyGo undertook an extensive traffic modeling process which has shown that no major impact to auto traffic congestion is expected with the conversion of lanes to BRT-only.

There are several factors that contribute to this:

• Ridership models predict a significant number of people would shift from their personal car to the Red Line.

• New left turn lanes at some intersections and the prohibition of left turns elsewhere in the corridor will reduce traffic back-ups.

• The existing heavy volume of buses in the corridor would shift into the BRT-only lane and out of the other lanes.

• Some drivers will take alternate streets, which currently have enough capacity to absorb the additional traffic.

All of these factors are expected to produce up to a 25% decrease in vehicle traffic along the BRT corridor.
