CIRCLE 2050 MTP Update
The Indianapolis MPO recently updated the region's metropolitan transportation plan (MTP). The CIRCLE 2050 MTP (Central Indiana: Reflect, Create, Lead, Excel) includes updated goals, information about regional transportation trends and projections, and an updated list of proposed major transportation projects through 2050.
To learn more about what an MTP is, check out this video.
The new CIRCLE 2050 MTP is awaiting Transportation Conformity confirmation, therefore it is not yet the "official" MTP for Central Indiana. Visit this page to review the IMPO's current 2050 MTP.

CIRCLE 2050 MTP List of Projects
The following project list includes Proposed and Existing & Committed capacity expansion projects as listed in the CIRCLE MTP (Chapter 5). Use the tabs to jump between the Existing & Committed and Proposed project lists.
These projects are fiscally constrained, meaning that the costs of projects in both the Proposed and Existing & Committed projects lists do not exceed the estimate for how much funding may be available for these kinds of projects through 2050. Use the tabs
*This list will be updated as the CIRCLE 2050 MTP is amended.
Proposed Projects Feedback - Spring 2024
From April 22 through May 12, 2024 the IMPO accepted public comments on the major transportation projects proposed by cities, towns, and counties in Central Indiana. Those comments were shared with the communities who submitted each project.
If you'd like to see a list or map of projects currently in the MTP, visit the active MTP webpage. If you'd like to see a list or map of projects that are being developed with IMPO funding, including roadways, bikeways, bridges, transit, and more, visit MiTIP.
Public Survey - Fall 2023
The IMPO offered two CIRCLE 2050 MTP public surveys (one statistically valid) in Fall 2023, as well as holding seven focus group meetings. A summary of those results and conversations is below.
