Employee Resources

The work we do at IndyGo is critical to keeping our city moving. People rely on us for rides to work, trips to medical appointments and quick stops to the grocery store for essentials. For many of us, providing a safe, reliable and accessible option for these basic needs attracted us to work in public transportation. Below, you’ll find various resources to keep you informed and healthy.

Cigna is IndyGo’s provider of our Employee Assistance Program, also known as EAP.  The EAP can provide confidential advice, counseling, and helpful ideas on self-care and ways to support others, as well as important links to resources.  EAP is available 24/7 for confidential assistance, crisis support and more.  The EAP toll-free number is (877) 622-4327.  In addition, online registration is available, and instructions are listed below in the brochure.

We think that the EAP provides a good way to obtain professional assistance in strict confidence.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to Human Resources directly should you have any questions or need additional support.

How To Schedule A Vaccine Appointment:

What To Do Prior To Your Appointment:

  • Pre-register online after you have scheduled your appointment.  If you do not, it will prolong your appointment.
  • Wear a short sleeve shirt to the appointment as you will be given a shot in your upper arm.
  • Be sure to show up early.

What To Expect When I Go To My Appointment:

  • The entire process for obtaining the vaccine will take about 30-45 minutes.
  • Show up early!!!  Make sure you show up at least 15 minutes early for your appointment.
  • A medical professional will ask you a series of questions prior to administering the vaccine.
  • You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the vaccine, possible side effects that may result from the vaccine, and what to do if you experience side effects.
  • After receiving the shot, you will be observed for at least 15 minutes by medical professionals to determine if you are having a side effect.  Medical professionals on site will be able to treat you if you have any side effects.

Scheduling The Second Appointment:

  • If you received the Pfizer shot or Moderna shot, please be sure to schedule your second shot appointment as it is critical to ensure you have received the vaccine in its entirety.
  • Please know that you must be available to get the second dose of the vaccine within 17 to 28 days following your first shot, depending on whether provided the Pfizer shot or the Moderna shot.
  • You will not need a second appointment if you receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as it is a single dose.

Existing legislation says that IndyGo must raise at least 10% of the annual operating expenses of projects & service created or expanded through the local transit income tax from sources others than taxes and fares. IndyGo has always and will continue to seek out funds from other sources, such as federal grants, to support its projects and increase the number of improvements we are able to make. However, SB 141 changes the expectations, suddenly excluding state and federal dollars from counting towards the requirements. This language puts the Purple and Blue Lines, as well as local route improvements, at risk.

SB 141 has passed out of the Appropriations Committee. It would still need to be passed by the full Senate and House, and signed by the Governor, before becoming law.

With COVID-19, now more than ever, it’s important to get your flu shot. Not only does getting vaccinated help with your overall individual health, it also protects ourselves and those around you.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, companies across the country have incorporated working remotely to promote more social distancing measures. IndyGo is no different, as we have employees and contractors working remotely as we enact our own social distancing initiatives. It is imperative to make sure that you and your team members are collaborating effectively, ensuring continuity and productivity, and hosting your meetings virtually.
