Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Purple Line bus rapid transit (BRT) project is envisioned to be the second Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area. It would connect downtown Indianapolis with the City of Lawrence running along Post Road, 38th Street, Meridian Street and, Ohio Street corridors. The project was identified in the regional transit framework, Indy Connect, in 2009-2010 and advanced to an Alternatives Analysis (AA) study in 2012-2013. Both studies were conducted by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in cooperation with IPTC, the Central Indiana Regional Transportation Association (CIRTA), and other regional partners. The Purple Line is an upgrade to the existing Route 39 local bus. This service sees the highest ridership per mile on IndyGo’s entire existing network and travels through some of the most historically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Indianapolis-Marion County. The implementation of the Purple Line will decrease travel times, increase frequency, and improve reliability for existing and new users of the 38th Street corridor.
