in motion
Currently underway now
Moving rather than stationary.
Something in motion is changing position: The train was already in motion when she reached the platform.
The phrase often emphasizes ongoing movement: Don't exit a vehicle while it's in motion.
Figuratively, plans or processes in motion have been initiated and are progressing: Once events were set in motion, there was no stopping them.
