The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is asking the public to provide feedback on an updated plan that outlines how the agency involves residents in transportation decisions. INDOT has released a revised Planning Public Involvement Plan (PPIP) that explains how the agency gathers public input on transportation planning.

Why it matters

The PPIP document is important because it details the processes INDOT uses to communicate with the public and incorporate their feedback into transportation projects and decisions. Revisions to the plan reflect changes in state and federal requirements, as well as updates to INDOT's public engagement methods.

The details

The 30-day public comment period for the revised PPIP runs from February 11 through March 13. Comments can be submitted online, by email, or by mail to INDOT's planning office in Indianapolis. Key areas of focus for public feedback include how and when people are notified about projects, access to meetings and online information, opportunities to provide input, and how INDOT responds to public comments.
