INDOT will be
hosting a series of public open houses to solicit input regarding the
Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
The Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a federally mandated four-year
funding and scheduling document for surface transportation projects in
Indiana.
Project types
include pavement and bridge facilities as well as projects addressing
safety, congestion, mobility, and emergency response. In addition, the STIP
also includes investment in alternative modes of transportation like
transit, pedestrian trails, and bicycle facilities.
Only projects in
which construction and operating funds can reasonably be expected to be
available are listed in the STIP, which is updated every two years.
The STIP covers
fiscal years 2020-24 (INDOT fiscal year is July 1 through June 30) and is
available on-line for review and comment at
https://www.in.gov/indot/3132.htm
Comments may be
submitted to the INDOT STIP Director via e-mail draftstip@indot.in.gov
To learn more about
the STIP and related processes please visit

A series of public
open houses have been scheduled around the state, at which INDOT team
members will be available to engage in conversation, address questions, and
solicit input related to a variety of topics including project selection,
multimodal, highway safety, economic opportunity, Americans with
Disabilities (ADA) programs, Local Public Agency (LPA) programs, public
involvement, district construction, maintenance, traffic operations, and
transportation planning.
Here in Northwest
Indiana, a workshop will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, at
Hammond High School, 5926 Calumet Ave. in Hammond.
