Indy Chamber statement on the passage of :

BREAKING: The Central Indiana transit bill SB 176 has passed in the Senate and now moves to the House. Below is a statement from President and CEO Michael Huber on today's proceedings:

"We are encouraged the Indiana Senate has supported our efforts to give local elected officials and citizens the opportunity to invest in the expansion of our regional transit system. As we have long said, this measure is essential for the Indianapolis region to provide access to jobs and healthcare and recruit talented workers. The Indy Chamber will remain steadfast in its mission to see this measure through the House and ultimately, to our local communities."

"While SB 176 is far from perfect, we’re encouraged the bill is moving forward and want to see it passed for one key reason. It would put Central Indiana residents in a position to get the kind of mass transit system required of a competitive and vibrant 21st century city — and to reap the benefits of that transit system."
