Bi-State Regional Commission seeks input about transportation
Regional transportation priorities are reviewed and updated every five years in the Iowa Region 9 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the area covering all of Muscatine County and Scott County, excluding the Iowa Quad Cities, according to a news release. The plan looks at regional economic and population changes, condition of Region 9 transportation assets, and mobility trends that may impact future use of the transportation system.
Public involvement can contribute to a better transportation system that benefits Region 9 for years to come, the release says.
The Bi-State Regional Commission invites public input through a public information survey. Visit here to give your transportation feedback on what is working and what is not. The survey will be open through May 1, 2025.
The release says this and future public input opportunities will help shape the future of the Iowa Region 9 transportation system and economy.
In the next year, Bi-State staff will work with local officials to prepare a full draft Long Range Transportation Plan document by early 2026. The plan will include transportation goals, existing and proposed transportation systems, and other infrastructure/development recommendations. Additional public input is planned prior to the adoption of the plan in early 2026.
