When Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed into law House Bill 1002-2017 on April 27, it put the wheels in motion, so to speak, for a fully funded, 20-year plan to operate, maintain, and improve every state road and bridge--a feat almost no other state can claim. At the signing ceremony, Gov. Holcomb said, "Indiana lawmakers passed an infrastructure plan of historic proportions, putting our state in a strong position to finish what we started, maintain what we have, and build for future growth." By the mid-2010s, it was more than evident that Indiana's road transportation system was underfunded. An immediate need existed to upgrade the interstate, state, and local roads and bridges. The state legislature took several steps to address the situation. In 2011, the House/Senate Infrastructure Summer Study Committee was formed using a data-driven approach to analysis, problem definition, and solutions.
