CARMEL, Ind., March 5, 2026 - Demonstrating a continued commitment to transparency, accountability and fiscal stewardship, Mayor Sue Finkam has signed an executive order establishing the Carmel Transportation Committee.
The newly formed committee will review and provide expert commentary on the City of Carmel’s forthcoming Capital Improvement Plan and Program. By integrating resident expertise and legislative oversight, the Committee will ensure that the City’s long-term infrastructure investments align with the community’s needs and fiscal goals.
"The Transportation Committee, led by City Engineer Bradley Pease, will provide a vital layer of review for our infrastructure strategy," said Mayor Finkam. "This initiative ensures that we publish our Capital Improvement Plan with a precise focus on transparency and the responsible management of taxpayer dollars."
The Committee is comprised of five Carmel residents, each bringing a diverse range of professional backgrounds and community perspectives. Joining these residents are two members of the Carmel City Council, President Matthew Snyder and Councilor Jeff Worrell, ensuring a direct link between the advisory body and the City’s legislative process.
