Iowa DOT GIS/Planning Partnership with Regional Planning Affiliations and Metropolitan Planning Organizations

— filed under: , ,

This report is a discussion of the planning efforts being made by the Iowa Department of Transportation through the partnership with its regional planning agencies. This includes 18 Regional Planning Affiliations (RPAs) and 9 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) throughout the state of Iowa. Emphasis will be placed on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) within the state. It will include a synopsis of the role GIS has in the transportation planning process, partnerships that have been acquired between state and regional agencies, and the overall benefit such analytical tools can have in the process. Examples of our planning efforts include GIS training, development of a GIS trails map, and producing multimodal GIS transportation maps for each MPO/RPA area to be included in the first ever Profiles of Iowa MPOs and RPAs document. Ultimately, the goal is to provide the tools, training and other resources necessary to agencies within the state so they can see firsthand, the benefits that GIS provides.
