    The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo) released a final emergency operations plan for the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit line, which is set to begin operations on Sept. 1.  

    The plan was developed over the course of a year with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD) and Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services (IEMS). IndyGo explains that the plan includes new protocols to allow emergency personnel complete access to neighborhoods and residents after the Red Line begins operation.

    “We very much appreciate the time, resources and collaboration offered by IMPD, IFD and IEMS,” said Mike Terry, IndyGo president and CEO. “Successful operation of the Red Line requires cooperation, proactive communication and an understanding that everyone is trying to do the best possible job they can for Indianapolis. Having a definitive operations plan for public safety, with input and approval by each of these agencies, is critically important.”
