At its most basic, the roadway network can be separated into three cate- gories: the national highway system, state facilities, and local facili- their intended character of service, into interstates, expressways, principalties. Furthermore, and minor roadways arterials, are major functionally and minor classified, collectors, based and uponlocal roads. The transportation network is always evolving and because of this it is important to identify and address changes, challenges, and opportunities that might occur in the future through the vision- ing of the transportation planning process. National Highway System The National Highways System (NHS) contains roads and highways important to the nation’s economy, defense, and mobility and there- fore should be given the highest priority for improvements and re- pairs. Within in the MACOG region there is one corridor that is part of the Eisenhower Interstate System: I-80/I-90 (Indiana Toll Road).

  • Annual List of Obligated Projects
    Annual Listing of Obligated Projects Fiscal Year - 2018 6100 Southport Road Portage, IN 46368 www.nirpc.org Annual Listing of Obligated Projects – FY 2018 Introduction The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) is a regional council of local governments serving the citizens of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties in Northwest Indiana. It is organized under the provisions of Indiana Code 36-7-7.6. NIRPC also serves as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for these three counties. The FAST Act (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2015. This act provides long term funding certainty for surface transportation infrastructure planning and investment. The act continues (from the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century- MAP 21) the requirement that Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO’s) prepare an annual list of projects in which federal funds have been obligated for in the preceding year (23 U.S.C. of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53). The Act further states that this list must be published within 90 days of the close of the preceding year. In Indiana, the fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. This Act is intended to increase the transparency of federal government spending on transportation projects within a Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA). Lake, Porter and LaPorte Counties constitute this MPA. This report fulfills this requirement for the fiscal year 2018. The term obligation in this report is the federal government’s legal commitment to pay the federal share of a project’s eligible costs. An obligated project is one that has been authorized by the Federal Highway Agency (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as meeting certain eligibility requirements for federal funds.
