 Commuting between the three sites was complicated and required crossing Interstate 65 by shuttle buses.In May 2000, a "Health Care Transportation System Franchise Agreement" was signed, followed by the "People Mover – State of Indiana Airspace Agreement and Lease" in November 2000 to allow crossing under the Interstate 65 highway for a period of 25 years.The system was ready by late-2002, which was followed by a six-month testing period, during which the trains were driven manually.
