INDOT holds two CCMG Call for Projects each year, with one in January and one in July. Projects that are eligible for funding through Community Crossings include road and bridge preservation projects with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance in connection with these projects. Material costs for chip sealing and crack filling operations are also eligible for funding. CCMG awards state funds for construction only; maintenance of traffic is part of construction, and does not participate in contingency fees on contractor contracts.
Community Crossings is open to all local government units in the State of Indiana. Match percentages are:
