The Indiana Department of Transportation is accepting applications for the spring 2024 call for projects for the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program.

The application window is open through Jan. 31.

Grants are available to cities, towns and counties in the state regarding certain population requirements.

Cities and towns with a population of fewer than 10,000 will receive funds using a 75/25 match, those with a population greater than 10,000 will receive funds using a 50/50 match, counties with a population of fewer than 50,000 will receive funds using a 75/25 match and counties with a population greater than 50,000 will receive funds using a 50/50 match.

Since 2016, the state has awarded nearly $1.5 billion in matching funds to support local road and bridge projects across Indiana. Long-term funding for Community Crossings is part of House Enrolled Act 1002, passed by the Indiana legislature and signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb in April 2017.

All application materials must be submitted by 5 p.m. Jan. 31 to be considered. Communities receiving awards will be notified in the spring.
