Background

2014 Plan

In 2014, The Iowa Park and Ride System Plan was developed. This plan included an update of the existing inventory, an identification of additional locations suitable for park and ride facilities, and strategies for implementation. The plan is used by the Iowa DOT to plan, evaluate, and develop a formal state-owned-and-operated system of park and ride facilities. The primary objective of the plan was to provide a location-specific, priority-based park and ride system that allows for coordinated planning and implementation of park and ride facilities.
