Blazing Trails in Indiana

In his state budget proposal, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb is requesting $50 million for the Next Level Trails program and $25 million for land conservation projects that will allow even more Hoosiers to connect with their communities and enjoy the outdoors.

Since 2019, Gov. Holcomb has led efforts to invest $150 million in trails through the innovative Next Level Trails program, including the recently announced $29.5 million investment to create the 62.3-mile Monon South Trail.

With Gov. Holcomb’s latest proposed investments, Indiana can continue to expand its growing trail network, including becoming one of the first states to complete its segment of the Great American Rail-Trail^®!

Take action now: Thank Gov. Holcomb for prioritizing trails and the outdoors in Indiana. Personalized messages work best: Tell the governor why investing in trails is important to you.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to making wise investments in Indiana's future for the benefit of all Hoosiers.

By investing in walking, biking and trail infrastructure--which has broad, bipartisan support--you are helping to generate significant economic, health, safety, recreation and other quality of life benefits. I continue to be impressed by your meaningful actions to connect people, places and opportunities across Indiana and with neighboring states.

Your recent announcement to award $29.5 million to construct the 62.3-mile Monon South Trail highlights the transformative nature of building trail networks. I also greatly appreciate the Next Level Trails program and your proposal to invest an additional $50 million to the $150 million already committed since 2019.

Connecting more people with trails--including by completing Indiana's segment of the Great American Rail-Trail--can deliver health and happiness for more communities across the state.

I truly appreciate your work to improve the lives of Hoosiers through trails and the outdoors.

Sincerely,
