The Terre Haute Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (THAMPO), the transportation planning agency for the West Central Indiana Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA), is in the process of updating its Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for 2050. The MTP is a long-range transportation plan that guides planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of the integrated, multi-modal transportation network throughout Vigo County. As required by federal regulation, the MTP should be reviewed and updated every 4 to 5 years and must have at least a 20-years planning horizon. The new 2050 MTP will replace the current 2045 MTP (adopted in 2018 and modified in 2023) and guide how federal transportation funding will be used for implementation of transportation improvement projects and plans for the West Central Indiana MPA region through 2050.
Throughout the process there are three (3) public meetings planned for the 2050 MTP development. We invite you to participate in the 3rd (last) public meeting to review the proposed cost-feasible projects and provide comments.
WHAT: An in-person meeting to solicit public comments on the proposed cost-feasible projects.
WHEN: 4 ā 6 pm, Tuesday, August 6, 2024
WHERE: The Hub @ the Hulman Bld., 900 Wabash Avenue, 2 Floor Conference Room, Terre Hate, IN 47807 (Entrance located on 9 St.)
A concurrent online survey is also available for the public to review details of the proposed projects and provide comments. You can access the survey using this link:

All comments collected from the public meeting and surveys will be reviewed carefully to support the development of the 2050 MTP. If you have any questions about the 2050 MTO, please contact the MPO at MPOStaff@terrehauteedc.com.
We look forward to seeing you there.
