Statement from State Sen. Aaron Freeman
State Sen. Aaron Freeman (R-Indianapolis) made the following statement today in response to Irvington businesses revoking their support for Senate Bill 52:

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 22, 2024) – "I understand that an individual or business needs to do what is in their best interest, even if that means opposing a one-year prohibition on dedicated lanes.

"The goal is not to eliminate IndyGo, the Blue Line or take away busses from those who utilize public transit. In my opinion, eliminating 60% of the lanes of travel on Washington Street - from Hancock County to Hendricks County - in favor of buses only is not in the best interest of anyone.

"I stand steadfast in my decision to oppose the implementation and construction of dedicated lanes and I will continue to push for common-sense solutions to this issue."
