Local transportation funding has been part of the public debate for decades in Indianapolis. Currently the city lags behind similarly sized cities ranking 86 in transit investment out of the 100 largest cities.

Mass transit is a critical piece of the community puzzle in Indianapolis. Reliable bus service means that your friends and neighbors can get to their jobs, that your parents and grandparents can get to doctor’s appointments and the grocery store, and that members of the community can access shopping centers and businesses – all of which contributes to the economic strength of our city. AARP fully supports the Marion County Transit Plan – a plan that will provide additional funding for the expansion of mass transit in Marion County. Want to know more? Come ride the bus with AARP! Every Friday, AARP staff and volunteers meet at the Transit Center in Indianapolis to ride the bus and experience first-hand the challenges and opportunities that face bus riders in Indianapolis. We’d love for you to join us!
