Welcome to INDOT's Long Range Planning Section's webpage. INDOT's Long Range Transportation Planning staff has the responsibility to maintain and update the INDOT Long Range Transportation Plan; monitor current transportation conditions and trends; forecast the future needs of the state; and develop various planning studies
- Long Range Transportation Plan
The INDOT Long Range Transportation Plan outlines a strategy for future investments in the state's highway system. The plan focuses on identifying and prioritizing specific highway expansion projects statewide. - 2007 Interchange Study
This study complements the strategies laid out in the Long Range Transportation Plan by evaluating improvement needs for interchange areas and identifying a prioritization for improvement of interchanges based on a relative comparison of deficiencies or need for improvement. This study was based upon a fiscally unconstrained needs analysis and therefore serves as an input into the statewide planning process. Recommendations from this study will be integrated into the statewide plan set of recommended improvements based upon the evaluation of interchange needs relative to other improvement needs and anticipated financial resources. - 1995 Multimodal Transportation Plan
The 1995 Statewide Long-Range Multimodal Transportation Plan provides a policy plan framework for the statewide transportation system addressing all modes of transportation. Click here for more information - Market Research Project
