From Indy, to the suburbs and back: A ground-level, commuter train service could run north to Fishers and south to Greenwood, with multiple station stops in Indianapolis. This service could run all day from Union Station in Indianapolis to the near north side and the near south side and with less frequent runs to the suburbs.
Commuter rail serves longer distances where fewer stops are required, providing good service to major centers in the city and to those who travel to the city center from the suburban areas. The northeast corridor from Indianapolis to Fishers was identified years ago as a potential first leg of a comprehensive regional transportation system based on population growth and traffic patterns. Planners are currently studying the environmental impacts a future system could have in that area, and their findings will play a major role in the Indy Connect initiative.
