Tippecanoe County, Indiana Citizens Participation Committee 2026-06-10

The Tippecanoe County Citizens Participation Committee met on June 10, 2026, to discuss updates on the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Northern Corridor Connection project. The committee reviewed demographic projections and traffic modeling efforts to support the MTP update, which plans for transportation needs through 2055. Key topics included population and employment growth areas, infrastructure considerations such as sewer availability and transit access, and the importance of accommodating multiple transportation modes. The committee also discussed the early planning stages of the Northern Corridor Connection, a potential new road project to improve connectivity in the county. The county is preparing a request for proposals (RFP) for engineering consulting services to conduct a white paper study, with the RFP expected to be released in summer 2026. Public comment opportunities on the draft MTP are anticipated in early 2027. No formal votes on procurement were taken, but the meeting outlined upcoming procurement activity related to the RFP for the corridor study.
