Important day at Statehouse
Join the Indiana Citizens’ Alliance for Transit (ICAT) and partners for Transit Day at the Statehouse on Thursday, February 11.
Transit Day at the Statehouse is the one day during the Indiana General Assembly session dedicated to mass transit advocacy and provides transit supporters the chance to join others from around the state to meet with their state legislators, share information, and build support for transit funding.
The ability to meet with state elected leaders is the most important aspect of Transit Day. Our lawmakers often need to a reminder as to why transit is important in their districts and to the lives and livelihoods of their constituents.
Easterseals Crossroads staff and consumers use IndyGo and other public transportation methods to get from home to work and back every day. The value of and need for public transportation brings to Indianapolis has a far reaching impact that continues to grow.
The event lasts from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM. Interested individuals can register and find more information about the event by clicking here. It would be much appreciated if those who plan to attend could register for our records.
Possible Transit Day participants include riders, local elected officials, transit agency staff, nonprofit/community partners, transit supporters, local government employees, individuals with disabilities, disability advocacy organizations, interested citizens, and/or anyone else who is interested in improving public transit in Indiana.
Finally, similar to last year, we are presenting ‘Outstanding Transit Advocate’ awards in three categories: elected official, community organization, and individual. We are asking for nominations until Monday, January 25.
