The Transportation Development Division supports the Commission’s development of Iowa’s long-range transportation plan and five-year program and administers state and federal grant funding programs. The Division also supports planning, project development and programming activities at city, county, regional, and metropolitan levels and promotes all modes of transportation. Strategic goals include modifying the organizational structure to provide a comprehensive modal focus, advancing asset management, implementing improved grant management tools, and improving tracking of federal fund usage within the department.

The Division is committed to developing and delivering high quality transportation projects on time and within budget. In this context, the Division is focused on project and portfolio management, performance management, scoping and prioritizing projects, managing the Project Scheduling System (PSS) and employee engagement.
