Mid-America Freight Coalition member, Iowa DOT, has completed their draft freight plan. It has been posted on their website and is available for download and comment.

The plan is designed to connect and optimize numerous freight planning initiatives being conducted by the Iowa DOT. Additionally, it will guide Iowa DOT’s investment decisions for maintaining and improving the state’s freight transportation system. The plan supports the National Freight Goals, as defined by MAP-21, and was developed in conjunction with the State Rail Plan. The Iowa freight and rail plans are both are anticipated to be completed in July of this year.
Iowa DOT is hosting a public open house on June 8 in Des Moines. The comment period will be open until June 15.
