INDOT hearings set

INDOT

You have a chance to weigh in on future Indiana Department of Transportation projects. 

INDOT is asking for your input on which highway projects should get top priority over the next five years. The information will be used to complete what’s known as the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. The STIP is used to prioritize the use of federal highway funding, among other things.

The INDOT regional open houses will be held over the next few weeks (Schedule below). In the WNIN listening area, a listening session is set for Wednesday, March 29th  from 4-7pm Eastern time at the INDOT district office south of Vincennes.

You can see the entire draft Statewide transportation plan on the INDOT website. We have put a link to that, as well as the entire schedule of regional open houses at wnin.org.  

Here is information from an INDOT news release with the times of the regional open houses and how you can give input on the plan:

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:

  1. The web comment form at www.in.gov/indot/3132.htm,
  2. Email addressed to draftstip@indot.in.gov,
  3. Postal mail addressed to Michael McNeil, INDOT STIP Director, 100 N. Senate Ave., IGCN 955, Indianapolis, IN 46204, or
  4. 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.
