The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) is a regional council of local governments in Northwest Indiana, serving Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties. It functions as the area’s metropolitan planning organization and the designated recipient for certain transportation funding, coordinating efforts to address transportation needs. Through a structured forum, it brings together citizens, elected officials, and other decision-makers to discuss regional concerns related to transportation, the environment, and community and economic development.

The commission carries out seven core functions, including issue framing, advocacy, identifying funding sources, project planning and programming, partnerships, sub-grantee administration, and providing technical services. It is based in Portage, in Northwest Indiana, and serves a region within the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area, complying with civil rights and accessibility requirements as a recipient of federal funds. In 2026, NIRPC joined CMAP and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus in developing the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan for Greater Chicago, reflecting cross-regional climate planning collaboration.
