Regional Plan
A Vision for
Northwest Indiana
⢠The 2040 Plan is built on a âcommunityâ
based regional consensusâ â the outcomeÂ
of numerous public involvement meetingsÂ
with residents and decision makers.
⢠Overall direction was conceived at theÂ
Forum on the Future of NorthwestÂ
Indiana, a 500âperson visioning event heldÂ
in December 2008.

of Lake Michigan to the historic banks of the Kankakee River and
committed to an ethic of sustainability:
A Vibrant Region
Our economy is thriving; our people are well-educated; our
growth is planned; and natural and rural areas are valued
and protected.

⢠To encourage livability and accessibility, NIRPC has called for
transit-oriented development and Livable Centers Initiative in
the 2040 Plan.
⢠Livable Centers Initiative is one of the principal urban
framework strategies for the 2040 Comprehensive Regional
Plan, which is fundamental to achieve the preferred regional
strategy for land use, transportation and environmental
balance in Northwest Indiana.
Livable Centers Initiative (LCI)
Creating Livable Communities (CLC) Funding Program
Livable Centers clustering many different
land uses in a compact area gives people
the opportunity to accomplish various
activities without using a car.
⢠Livable Centers make it easy to
reach multiple destinations by foot,
bicycle, car or transit.
⢠A well-designed street and sidewalk
system provides good connectivity
and safety for everyone.
⢠Livable Centers concentrate housing,
employment, shopping, and
entertainment in areas with good
pedestrian networks

NIRPC/Walk Score
Methodologies
Walk
ScoreÂŽ Description
90â100
Walker's Paradise
Daily errands do not
require a car.
70â89
Very Walkable
Most errands can be
accomplished on foot.
50â69
Somewhat Walkable
Some errands can be
accomplished on foot.
25â49
Car-Dependent
Most errands require a car.
0â24
Car-Dependent
Almost all errands require
a car.
Walk Score Analysis:
⢠Walking routes to nearby
amenities.
⢠Points are awarded based
on the distance to
amenities
⢠Amenities within a 5
minute walk (.25 miles) are
given maximum points.
⢠The more distant amenities
the more decline in score
with no points given after a
30 minute walk.
⢠Pedestrian friendliness is
measured by analyzing
⢠population density
⢠road metrics such as block
length and intersection
density http://www.walkscore.com/

The purpose of this funding is to support community-based
transportation/ land use projects that bring vitality to downtown
areas, neighborhoods, station areas, commercial cores, and
transit corridors.
ďĄ Putting real transportation dollars behind its
planning efforts, NIRPC developed the new
funding program to help ensure that
transportation investments will be linked to
the vitality of northwestern Indianaâs
communities.
ďĄ $400,000 over the next two years has been
identified to provide tangible support to
communities in Lake & Porter Counties
seeking to enhance their center places, with
some prime beneficiaries being those
communities able to take advantage of also
TOD opportunities.
Overview:
ďĄ To support community-based transportation/ land use projects
that bring vitality to downtown areas, neighborhoods, station
areas, commercial cores, and transit corridors.
ďĄ To support projects that are guided by the principle of
âplace-makingâ
Requirements / Eligibility:
ďĄ Local Governments and non-profit organizations
ďĄ Projects should be located in the Livable Centers Map or
Transit Area Map.
Types of Grants:
ďĄ Fund planning projects or pre-development plan that
revitalize: existing centers, neighborhood, downtown,
transit stop or transit corridors, TOD ordinance, and/or
ďĄ Prepare projects to compete for grants in the Capital
Projects category.
⢠NIRPC has awarded seven grants totaling $402,500 of STP
funding to seven communities. The total funding with the
local match is $495,500. These communities are:
⢠Chesterton
⢠Crown Point
⢠East Chicago
⢠Gary
⢠Highland
⢠Porter
