Iowa Transportation Commission and Iowa Department of Transportation Seek Public Input on State Transportation Plan

AMES, Iowa – July 24, 2026 – The Iowa Transportation Commission says they are beginning the process to update the State Transportation Plan for Iowa. Officials say the plan provides a framework for how future investments should be made to Iowa’s multimodal transportation system, including all modes such as aviation, public transit, rail, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, highways, and water transportation.

As part of the update, the Commission is inviting Iowans to offer input on Iowa’s multimodal transportation system. We’ve created a short survey to collect feedback on the current system and gather ideas for the future of transportation in Iowa. The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Public input will be used to help refine and validate the draft goals and strategies that will guide Iowa’s transportation system over the coming years.

The survey will be available through August 31st, 2026, at: https://iowadot.gov/FutureTravel.
