About TODS
What Are They?
Tourist Oriented Directional Signs (TODS) are blue signs located on at-grade state and US highways. They provide directional information for tourist-related businesses and services.
Who Can Participate?
The TODS Program caters to a variety of Indiana businesses in the tourism sector. There are over 30 different categories
that comprise eligible business types.
