The Indiana General Assembly passed legislation in 2016 and 2017 that expanded the resources available to local governments for local roads and bridges. The PPI research team completed a series of reports with support from the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council. Rural Roads and Bridge Needs 2023 documents road and bridge spending and the changes in road and bridge ratings for the three-year period (2021‒23). Charting a Sustainable Course for Indiana’s Rural Roads and Bridges explores the use of the newly collected road and bridge data to evaluate future spending scenarios and the resulting conditions ratings.
