With shifts in land-use, demographics, environment, travel choices, modes of travel, technology, the environment, quality of life, and available funding sources, transportation planning and project programming plays a critical role in achieving a vision that maximizes the movement of people, goods, health, the environment, and our economy.
Transportation planning recognizes the critical links between transportation and other societal goals. INDOT’s planning process is more than merely listing major capital projects. It requires developing strategies for operating, managing, maintaining, and financing the area’s transportation system in such a way as to meet customer needs and advance long-term goals.
The INDOT Planning and Programming Division is made up of a team of sections/offices that coordinate closely with our various plans, planning partners, and stakeholders:
