49 We need to be less dependent on foreign oil. Here s what we re doing about it.

50 CMAQ To capitalize on this infrastructure, we ve created PACERS BIKESHARE to build bike sharing stations throughout the City We committed by 2025 to convert our municipal fleet to post-oil vehicles, THE FIRST MAJOR AMERICAN CITY to do so We re Implementing the NATION S 1 ST + ONLY ELECTRIC car share program, BLUEINDY We re leading the nation in post-oil transportation technology.

51 We will use a $10M TIGER Grant to purchase 22 ELECTRIC 40 BUSES, a first step toward a post-oil fleet. TIGER We re improving our transit system, innovatively and sustainably.

64 Working to be the nation s best Leveraging transit for economic development Transit vehicle manufacturers have deep Indiana supply chains, and we re going to leverage our transit expansion to generate growth within and attract more manufacturers to this industry.

65 Working to be the nation s best Nailing the fundamentals / learning from others We re committed to avoiding the mistakes and repeating the best practices of other transit lines Minute Frequency Long Hours (Span) Great Buses Designated Stops Great Stations Level Boarding Off-Board Fare Real-Time Travel Info

66 We re a city built on cars... But we re investing in opportunities to reduce our emissions. Implementing an allelectric BRT Red Line, instead of the typical diesel vehicles, can annually save our region: 5,269 tons of carbon $1.79 M by purchasing electricity instead of diesel

67 We can leverage more We believe in the Partnership for Sustainable Communities. We couldn t agree more with the concept of layering funding to achieve a larger goal of creating thriving, well-connected, livable communities.
