INDOT to host public meetings for Charging the Crossroads program

INDIANA – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will host public information meetings to provide updates and gather feedback regarding Charging the Crossroads, INDOT’s plan to expand Indiana’s statewide electric vehicle charging network.

Charging the Crossroads is federally funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, created by the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to deploy a national network of at least 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2030.

Attendees will hear updates on program implementation and provide feedback on potential charging station locations and recommended equity and inclusion metrics.

INDOT’s updated draft plan will be posted online for review by June 18, 2024. In the coming weeks, a virtual public meeting will be available at ChargingtheCrossroads.com.

Public information meetings will be held around the state in June and July as part of INDOT’s ongoing efforts to engage stakeholders with the Charging the Crossroads program. A presentation will begin 30 minutes after doors open.

In March, INDOT announced the first round of 39 awards through Charging the Crossroads after receiving more than 100 applications in response to last year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). INDOT anticipates releasing a second NOFO later this year to address gaps in the state’s EV charging network.
