INDOT 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan Update
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is updating its current 2005-2030 Long Range Plan to 2010-2035 to:
- Provide a minimum 20 to 25 year future planning horizon;
- Determine long-range transportation system improvement needs;
- Integrate the long range plan with the Indiana Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) 2010 to 2013 and the Major Moves construction program;
- Incorporate new long range fiscal forecasts which better account for current economic conditions;
- Keep up to date with the transportation plans developed by our planning partners at the state’s fourteen Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), seven Regional Planning Organizations (RPOs), and the states cities, towns and county planning efforts.
- Incorporate the results of recently completed planning studies, such as the Indiana Multimodal Freight and Mobility Plan, the Indiana Mass Transit Studies and the Indiana Rail Plan.
The 2035 Long Range Plan will provide a strategy for the future of the state highway system, which is intended to provide Hoosiers the highest level of mobility and safety possible, and to meet the needs of economic development and quality of life into the next quarter century. The 2035 Long Range Plan will also provide an update of multimodal transportation issues from the INDOT rail, public transportation and aviation offices.
As part of the INDOT plan update process, INDOT has initiated a 30-day public comment period on the INDOT draft 2010-2035 Long-Range Transportation Plan. This comment period will end May 4th. As part of the process, INDOT Planning Staff is traveling to each of the 6-INDOT District Meetings to present the INDOT draft Long-Range Plan. District Meeting time and locations can be found at: http://www.in.gov/portal/news_events/68585.htm. These meetings will involve a combination of a formal presentation and open-house format to answer public questions.
