The Indiana Department of Transportation is inviting its customers and the public to provide input on the selection of future state-highway construction projects.
To use federal funds, a transportation project must be listed in a four-year budget document known as the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. In urban areas, Metropolitan Planning Organizations produce and collect public input on their own Transportation Improvement Programs.
Provide input
INDOT’s draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program is available for public review at www.in.gov/indot/3132.htm. The document lists construction projects planned from July 2017 through June 2021 and the funds available for transportation projects and programs including highways, transit, bicycles and pedestrians.
The public may submit comments through:
- The web comment form at www.in.gov/indot/3132.htm,
- Email addressed to draftstip@indot.in.gov,
- Postal mail addressed to
Michael McNeil, INDOT STIP Director
100 N. Senate Ave.
IGCN 955
Indianapolis, IN 46204
- Paper comment forms at one of six regional open houses.
- INDOT respectfully requests that all comments be submitted or postmarked by Monday, May 1. INDOT will then collate and respond to comments and questions on the record as an appendix to the final document.
