2018 Community Crossings Matching Grant Fund

Last updated on Thursday, June 21, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Indiana Department of Transportation has established dates for the 2018 Community Crossings call for projects.

It's INDOT's intention to start accepting applications starting August 6, 2018 and closing on September 28, 2018 at 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT).

Awards will be announced sometime in November 2018.

At this time, INDOT encourages everyone to work with LTAP (Local Technical Assistance Program-Purdue University) on getting their asset management plans updated. The program requires that local public agencies completely update their asset management plans every 2 years. All asset management plans must be submitted to LTAP in order to qualify for the program.

There are some changes to the 2018 call for projects that are noted below:

For those projects awarded in this call, all projects must be under contract by May 1, 2019.
Sidewalk work will only be permitted when a pavement rehabilitation process on the road awarded funding involves milling (removing) the surface layer of pavement to a predetermined depth and filling it with new or recycled hot mix asphalt. Sidewalk work will not be allowed when the roads are only be cracked sealed or patched.
INDOT will be issuing a call for projects two (2) times a year instead of one (1) as we move forward. Calls will be done 6 months apart and will allow for more flexibility. An LPA can only be awarded funds once per calendar year.
