Road Funding
The Time is Now to
Tackle Indiana’s Road Funding Needs
According to an independent study by Purdue’s Local Technical Assistance Program, it would take $775 million annually for the next ten years to bring Indiana’s local roads and streets into fair or better condition. Hoosiers see this need. With their support crystal clear, the General Assembly should provide long-term funding to maintain and improve our roads.


The goal: Modernize road funding.
Lawmakers are in the last leg of finalizing a road funding plan. Aim believes the ultimate proposal should: Be a true long-term solution that provides adequate support for years to come. What’s more: The end result should allow equitable access to grants by easing requirements on funds locals must raise to receive state dollars. A 50/50 match can prove an impassable hurdle, especially for rural communities.

Meeting the need of municipalities.
The top concern is addressing the differences in funding provided by the House and Senate to meet the local need. The original House plan provided $315 million. However, the local share was cut to $165 million in the Senate.

Show your support for funding.
With lawmakers entering final negotiations on House Bill 1002, now is the time to show your support for a long-term, data-driven solution. Hoosiers should leave the session confident funds were supplied to repair Indiana’s dilapidated infrastructure and launch new projects to take the Crossroads of America to the next level. Our roads and bridges are a vital component of our economy. Find your lawmaker’s contact information here.
