Watch this video to meet some examples of Hoosiers who don’t drive and rely on rural transit providers for transportation.
What are Rural Transit Providers?
Most Central Indiana counties have public transit operated by rural transit providers. The service is funded by federal, state and county governments, as well as from fares. Though open to anyone, the services are mostly used by seniors, people with disabilities, and others who are unable to drive.
Unlike city bus riders, when people outside the Indianapolis and Anderson “urbanized areas” want to use public transit to go to a job, a medical appointment or a social outing, they have to call at least two weeks ahead of time and schedule the trip with a 30-minute pick-up window.
