INDOT is advancing active transportation toward the goal of providing all residents and visitors access to healthy, active transportation opportunities enabled by quality pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
This comprehensive active transportation network complements the overall performance of Indiana’s transportation system across all modes of transportation.
