WHO WE ARE

A key measure of any great city is simply the ease of getting from one place to another. We call it mobility. It’s as essential as access to electricity and clean water.

It’s literally what moves a city forward to become a better place of opportunity and community. It’s a measure of a city’s vitality and potential, and it reflects a city’s judgment about its civic priorities.

It makes a city a better home and a better place to visit.

At IndyGo, getting people from one place to another is much more than just moving riders; it’s about getting our riders to their hopes and dreams, to their education and careers, to their families and friends, to their health and well-being, and another day of life in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas.
