State, Amtrak reach agreement on Hoosier State

Once agreements are signed and executed by all parties, monthly payments will renew the existing service for one year with an option for an additional four months, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, Rensselaer, Lafayette, West Lafayette, Tippecanoe County and Beech Grove are partnering with the Indiana Department of Transportation to fund the service.

“I am pleased that the state of Indiana, in partnership with local communities, was able to reach an agreement with Amtrak to keep the Hoosier State line operating over the next year,” Pence said.
