Iowa’s TAMP discusses how National Highway System (NHS) and Iowa DOT owned pavements and bridges are managed in the state. The TAMP is a federally-required document that is updated every four years. The TAMP has a 10-year planning horizon and focuses on investment strategies to achieve and maintain a state of good repair for the NHS and Iowa DOT pavements and bridges. The TAMP provides important documentation of pavement and bridge management activities that are continuously underway at the Iowa DOT. These activities help inform the annual development of Iowa’s Transportation Improvement Program, which outlines planned investments over the next five years.
