Central Indiana is home to a world-class transportation system that links our businesses, neighborhoods, and attractions together. Most interstates inside the I-465 loop were built more than 40 years ago and will need to be modernized in the future.
ProPEL Indy has spent the last year asking residents, neighborhoods, businesses, and commuters to envision the future of I-65 and I-70 in Indianapolis. During the study’s Visioning Phase, the study team received more than 1,100 comments from several hundred stakeholders who use, work, or live near the interstates. This feedback informed ProPEL Indy’s collection and analysis of data for the study.
In May, the study team released a draft Purpose and Need Report using this data alongside the public’s feedback to define the transportation issues, opportunities, and desired outcomes in the study area. Watch the video below to learn more.
Public feedback on the report was requested through June 30, 2024. The study team anticipates the final Purpose and Need Report will be published to the website later this summer. Your participation is vital throughout the study and we are still listening. Share your feedback with the study team here.
Complex Projects Need Collaborative Solutions
ProPEL Indy is a collaborative effort that goes well beyond recent studies of the Indianapolis interstate system. This study is intentionally designed to be more inclusive by giving residents and neighborhoods a voice in the future of our crossroads. All of your thoughts and feedback will be considered alongside safety, mobility, equity, and sustainability needs to determine the best possible solution for our community.
Your Voice Makes a Difference
We know that transportation and mobility are community-wide concerns. That’s why we want to hear from as many Hoosiers as possible! Whether you have questions, concerns, or ideas for improvement, ProPEL Indy is an easy way for you to join the conversation—and make our home a more vibrant place to live. Because smarter transportation builds stronger communities.
Explore What’s Possible. Build What’s Smart.
ProPEL Indy is all about the art of the possible. Throughout the study, we will host a series of community conversations, one-on-one interviews, and online forums where you can share your ideas for the future. Then, our team will evaluate your suggestions and recommend improvements to our interstates. These recommendations will be both innovative and practical, balancing our creative vision with sound engineering and responsible financial management.
