What are transportation options and challenges in Indianapolis, Indiana?

Indianapolis is referred to as both the Circle City and “Crossroads of America”. It is geographically in a very convenient location for domestic travel, both by air and automobile. Featuring a splendid downtown which many consider a top rust belt destination for conventions and trade show events, “Indy” is enjoying increased national attention for drawing huge events throughout the entire year! the city is enjoying a renaissance of foodie establishments, as both franchise and mom ‘n pop restaurants are opening every month.

Indianapolis is the capital of the US state of Indiana. On a map, it appears to lie almost exactly geographically centered between north and south, and east and west. This makes all other locations within the state easy enough to get to, with a drive of no more than about two and one-half hours. I like that about the location because I frequently meet clients in other Indiana cities and towns. Indianapolis is also a more modern city in the last 30 years than at any time before, having a revived downtown (which was once a social hub, then declined for many years) and an enriched reputation for sports, and the arts. The city is governed as part of a unified city-county system, having a City Council that works very closely with the mayor. Indianapolis is called “The Crossroads of America” because major Interstates 65, 69, 70, and 74 crisscross the city, along with multiple US and state highways. From this Indiana hub, one can go in any of the major geographic directions and reach almost any destination.
