Thrive Indianapolis (2019) is the city's first sustainability and resilience plan, setting a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 with interim targets for buildings, transportation, and waste reduction across Marion County.
Adopted by the Office of Sustainability in February 2019, Thrive Indianapolis lays out 59 actions across eight chapters, including municipal energy benchmarking, electric vehicle adoption, urban forest expansion to 30% canopy, and equitable resilience hubs. The plan informs zoning amendments, capital budgeting, and IndyGo electrification. While not directly enforceable against residents, Thrive shapes building code updates, the Sustainable Indy Tax Increment district, and grant scoring for community projects. Progress is tracked through a public dashboard updated annually by the Sustainability Office.
Thrive itself imposes no direct fines on residents; non-compliance with downstream code amendments (energy benchmarking, EV-ready parking) can trigger permit denial or daily fees.
