Indianapolis, In. — The Indiana Department of Transportation announced it will be accepting applications for shovel-ready local construction projects through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program between Monday, Aug. 6, and Friday, Sept. 28.
The Indiana General Assembly passed legislation in 2016 to create the program to help cities, counties and towns across our state improve their roads and bridges.
Through Community Crossings, INDOT matches money when localities invest in road and bridge repairs. Counties with populations below 50,000 and cities and towns with populations below 10,000 receive a 75/25 match, while counties with populations greater than 50,000 and cities and towns with populations greater than 10,000 receive a 50/50 match.
Monetary awards are based on need, traffic volume, local support and regional economic significance.
