INDOT Awards Over $200 Million in Community Crossings Matching Grants

Several local communities received funding.

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Transportation today announced that $207 million has been awarded through the Community Crossings matching grant program.

A total of 252 communities received matching funds in the 2024 spring call for projects.

Local recipients included:

Communities submitted applications for funding during a highly competitive call for projects in January. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund. The Community Crossings initiative has provided nearly $1.7 billion in state matching funds for local road improvement projects since 2016.

"Year after year Indiana’s local Community Crossings program enables hundreds of critically important infrastructure improvements to happen," said Gov. Holcomb. "I cannot overstate the transformative significance of this program and the positive impacts it has throughout our cities, towns and counties across the Hoosier State known as the Crossroads of America."

State Rep. Alex Zimmerman weighed in on Batesville, Ripley County and Versailles receiving funding.

"Whether you are a lifelong Hoosier or just driving through, having safe roads is a must for the Crossroads of America," said Zimmerman, a member of the House Roads and Transportation Committee. "Thanks to this program, our local communities can continue to invest in our roads and bridges, which adds to our quality of life and boosts the economy."
