The Indiana Department of Transportation is now accepting applications for its Fiscal Year 2026 Community Crossings Matching Grant program. Cities, towns, and counties across Indiana can apply through 5 p.m. ET on Friday, October 31.

Towns and cities under 10,000 residents: 80/20 match
Towns and cities over 10,000 residents: 50/50 match
Counties under 55,000 residents: 80/20 match

Award announcements are expected in late 2025.
