GovDelivery will provide information that may significantly impact LPAs receiving federal-aid through INDOT.  All communications from the INDOT LPA Department are sent through GovDelivery, and it is highly recommended that all LPAs read the instructions to subscribe.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) signs an agreement with each State Department of Transportation to allow states to oversee the responsibilities and execution of their Local Public Agency Program. INDOT’s LPA Program’s Guidance Document is the resource manual for INDOT’s LPA Program. It is the primary source of program information and guidelines that should be followed during an INDOT LPA project from cradle to grave.
