About the Plan

The Central Indiana Regional Development Authority (CIRDA) is developing a regional climate action plan. The plan, funded by the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program (CPRG), includes three core products:

1. Priority Climate Action Plan
2. Comprehensive Climate Action Plan
3. Status Report

This program is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Indianapolis MPO is assisting CIRDA with gathering commentary from residents, businesses, and stakeholders. IMPO is also responsible for communicating results of the planning process with members of the public.
