The City of Indianapolis and Marion County is seeking qualified consulting firms to develop the 2028 “Moving Indy Forward” Long‑Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and associated Thoroughfare Plan, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2027‑2037, and illustrative projects through 2042. The effort includes extensive data analysis, public and stakeholder engagement, policy review, context‑classification mapping, and creation of online tools and dashboards. Deliverables encompass a full LRTP document, a thoroughfare typology framework, a 10‑year CIP, engagement reports, and supporting visualizations. The work begins January 2027 and will require coordination with DPW, DMD, and multiple external partners.
