Indianapolis MPO:

Under the current Transportation Bill (SAFETEA-LU) signed into law late in 2005, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) can expect to receive an average of $24.7 million dollars in Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds each year between Fiscal Years (FY) 2004 and FY 2009. 

This represents an increase of roughly 30% over the last Bill.  Jurisdictions with representation on the Indianapolis Regional Transportation Council (IRTC) are eligible to submit applications for STP funding for traditional road projects as well as multi-modal projects. The MPO, along with the IRTC, plays an active role in project selection, approval, and programming of projects; responsibilities for administration and disbursement of funds are under the purview of INDOT.

STP funds for the Indianapolis MPO are programmed in the Indianapolis Regional Transportation Improvement Program (IRTIP).

Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT):

INDOT also has STP funds allotted to them for use on Interstates, Federal and State Highways.
