(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Department of Transportation has updated the way it gets input on its various projects through its web-based feedback portal. The D-O-T’s Trisha Miller says the new system does a better job of collating the input on each project.

So if there’s a road or bridge project in your area, you can click on the PublicInput.com link and share your opinion. She says they will put the link in when they send out notices on projects.

Miller says it’s part of the information you can review.

She says they get lots of different comments on the projects in the six districts across the state.

The Iowa D-O-T also holds open houses, and public hearings at different stages of project development to get input on everything from detours to right-of-ways.
