IndyGo adjusting routes in June due to driver shortages

Indianapolis, Indiana – In June, IndyGo will make some changes to its routes and schedule in response to the current driver shortage.

The “major service modifications” that IndyGo refers to will go into effect on Sunday, June 11.

“Many of these changes represent a big step forward when it comes to completing IndyGo’s network redesign as part of its future service plan. They will provide more efficient service in the areas that need it most while streamlining service where ridership is low,” IndyGo said in a release.

Routes 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 26, 28, 31, 38, 55, and 902 passengers will notice modifications.

Routes 11, 26, 38, and 902 will see what IndyGo refers to as “temporary frequency changes.”

Route 56 will be formally announced as a new route. The intersection of Routes 14 and 55 will become Route 56. Route 56 will replace Route 16’s service to downtown Indianapolis, providing Main Street service to Beech Grove.

Three informational meetings will be held by IndyGo in May to provide riders with information about the routes and address their queries:

• Virtual Public Meeting | May 16 | 5:30 p.m.
• Transit Center Open House | May 17 | 6 – 8 a.m. and 3 – 5 p.m.
• Transit Center Open House | May 18 | 6 – 8 a.m. and 3 – 5 p.m.

Routes with temporary frequency changes:

• Route 11 – 60-minute frequency to 90 minutes.
• Route 26 – 45-minute frequency to 30 minutes.
• Route 38 – 30-minute frequency to 60 minutes.
• Route 902 – 30-minute frequency to 45 minutes.

• Route 2
• Routes 12 and 13

• Route 31
• Route 38
• Routes 14, 55, and 56
