Indiana Governor Mike Braun presented nearly $110 million in state matching funds to local communities that will be used to improve infrastructure in 346 Indiana cities, towns, and counties, including municipalities across northwest Indiana. The Governor presented the $109.9 million in INDOT Community Crossings Matching Grants during the 43rd Annual Indiana MPO-IARC Conference in Kokomo Wednesday Oct 28 2026.
“Good roads and bridges are essential to strong communities and a growing economy,” said Gov. Mike Braun. “This funding ensures hundreds of Indiana communities have the necessary resources to make improvements that Hoosiers will see and use every day. What makes Community Crossings work is that local governments have skin in the game. They’re investing alongside the state to get these projects done, making roads safer, supporting local businesses and creating more opportunities for communities across Indiana to grow.”
Communities submitted applications during the FY 2027 call for projects in September. Funding for Community Crossings comes from the state’s local road and bridge matching grant fund.
“More than $2 billion in matching funds have been awarded for local road improvements since 2016,” said INDOT Commissioner Lyndsay Quist. “Community Crossings is a testament to the strong partnerships between INDOT and local communities that help provide safe, efficient transportation infrastructure for our cities, towns and counties.”
