"Community Power Indiana: Beyond the Line" illuminates how a fully bi-partisan effort created the first, and one of the largest, fully electric bus rapid transit (BRT) systems in the nation; bringing with it faster, more efficient transit, significant infrastructure upgrades, jobs, community benefits, and cleaner air. IndyGo—the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation—is home to 43 electric buses that provide a safe, reliable, and economically accessible commute alternative.

This film is part of The Redford Center’s Community Power film series that spotlights local voices and their stories of unity and collective action to build a healthier, safer, and more just future for all. The series, in collaboration with League of Conservation Voters, Chispa, and Far Star Action Fund, introduces stories about clean transportation initiatives from states across the country.
