| About ProPEL S.R. 2 The 13-mile ProPEL S.R. 2 study area extends from U.S. 20 in La Porte County to U.S. 20/31 in St. Joseph County in northern Indiana. The Study Team is working to understand corridor needs, identify opportunities for safety and mobility improvements, and help determine a set of recommendations for transportation improvements for the corridor. |
|
| A PEL study is a collaborative effort that occurs before specific projects are identified and allows the public to engage early in the transportation planning process. A PEL study allows INDOT to better understand community needs and to develop solutions that meet those needs.
Public input is an important part of the study. Additional public meetings will be held at key milestones throughout the study. INDOT also plans to host local community office hours to provide more opportunities for public input throughout the course of the study. |

| The study website, ProPELSR2.com includes study information, maps and FAQs. Study news and updates are shared on the INDOT Northwest Facebook page (@INDOTNorthwest) and on X (@ INDOTNorthwest). People interested in participating in the study are encouraged to sign up for updates by email or text on the study website.
