Greetings from the President & CEO
As a new year gets underway and my second year as IndyGo’s President and CEO begins, we are poised for exciting developments and discussion about
the potential for an expanded transit system throughout Central Indiana. With the February 10 kickoff of public meetings throughout the region,
we are looking forward to hearing from residents, businesses, tourism groups and other city stakeholders and learning more about their needs and
expectations for near-, short- and long-term transportation plans for this area.
Before getting too far ahead though, I’d like to congratulate the IndyGo staff for the strides made in 2009. These accomplishments center on
customer service, operational efficiencies and sustainability messaging. Among them:
- IndyGo provided more than eight million rides to the workforce, students, seniors and visitors of Indianapolis in 2009.
- With customer needs in mind, IndyGo installed GPS software on the entire fleet to make real-time arrival and location information readily available.
 IndyGo launched an IndyGo Green campaign and identity system to reinforce the opportunity for individuals and business to “Go Green” by using and promoting public transportation.- Through stronger oversight and management, we reduced overtime costs and improved absenteeism in 2009.
- IndyGo began a long-overdue facility upgrade project that is expected to yield $400,000 in annual operational savings and reduce IndyGo’s overall energy utilization and impact on the environment.
- We continue to streamline operations and maximize service with acutely limited resources while incorporating sustainable practices into our own operational processes.
Yet work remains. The time has come to transform our city’s public transportation. And we invite you to participate in the development of
our city’s infrastructure. Watch for opportunities to provide your perspective to these discussions. Visit

schedule of public meetings throughout Central Indiana.
Best regards,
Michael A. Terry
