Existing and anticipated federal, state and local funding sources will pay for the roadway and bridge improvements as well as bike and pedestrian pathways outlined in this plan.

A combination of federal, state and local dollars, as well as transit fares, will be used to build, operate and maintain the bus and rail system in this plan, but a new dedicated source of local funds will be needed. It will be up to the Indiana State Legislature to determine what kind of local funding will be used to fund the bus and rail system. The funding sources will likely include an increase in the local option income tax or sales tax.

It is estimated that residents living in counties that are a part of this plan will pay an average of $15 per month per household to support the new investment in an expanded transit system.

It will cost approximately $2.5 billion to build this system over the next 25 years and $135 million per year to operate and maintain.
