Project types involving pavement and bridge facilities, projects addressing safety, congestion, mobility and emergency response can be found in the STIP. In addition, this document includes investment in various modes of transportation including transit, pedestrian trails, and bicycle facilities.
Only projects in which construction and operating funds can reasonably be expected to be available are included in the STIP. The STIP is updated every two years.

Speaking of planning, INDOT has updated its long-range plan for improving Indiana’s Transportation System.
