Indianapolis MPO

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization (IMPO) is Central Indiana’s federally designated regional planning agency. The IMPO develops short and long range plans to support local governments and advance the region’s goals in transportation, economic development, housing, safety, sustainability, and other quality-of-life issues. The IMPO collects, analyzes, and communicates regional data to inform planning efforts and guide decision-making. The IMPO also tracks and distributes specific grant funds to local governments for the planning and construction of roads, trails, transit, and other infrastructure that moves people and goods throughout Central Indiana. Our planning area spans nearly 1,500 square miles and includes Marion County and parts of Boone, Hancock, Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Morgan, and Shelby counties.
