Working in Conjunction with Local Government
While INDOT maintains all interstate highways, U.S. routes, and state roads in Indiana, many of these roads are also significant parts of local communities. In order to be good neighbors, INDOT works with local government in a variety of ways, including grant opportunities, project coordination, and maintenance.
INDOT is constantly looking for new ways to engage with local leaders and the public. In 2020, the agency convened an INDOT/LPA Collaboration Committee consisting of key stakeholders in an effort to continuously improve its level of service to Hoosier communities and taxpayers.
This committee consists of city, town, and county representatives as well as INDOT personnel, including members of the executive office, local programs, and government affairs team.
As a resource to all local government agencies, agendas and PowerPoint presentations for each of the committee’s quarterly meetings will be uploaded below.
