Council Approves Tax Hike for IndyGo Expansion
|
The Indianapolis City-County Council recently voted 17-8 to enact a 0.25 percent income tax hike  dedicated to public transit expansion that voters approved in November.
The tax hike, which takes effect in October, could raise $56 million annually to fund improved IndyGo service such as shorter wait times, longer service hours and easier transfers, and construction of three BRT lines. |

IndyGo President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Terry said the additional taxes will support “a 70 percent increase in service—our biggest project to date.” He added, “We have laid the groundwork and will begin development of the implementation plans and timeline for the transit enhancements.”
