Beginning
Jan. 21, employees of Amazon.com and other companies at the River Ridge
Commerce Center will have weekday TARC service to the site on IN 62 in
Jeffersonville.
TARC is
extending an existing cross-river route to provide three morning and four
afternoon trips to River Ridge. Route #71, will now travel from Indiana
University Southeast in New Albany, through downtown New Albany, downtown
Louisville and Jeffersonville en route to River Ridge.
All River
Ridge trips will service the TARC stop in the parking lot at Meijer at Allison

operates only in Southern Indiana.
In addition,
TARC is addressing workforce needs by adding two Saturday trips – one morning
