The Iowa Transportation Commission and Iowa Department of Transportation develop Iowa's Five-Year Transportation Improvement Program to inform Iowans of planned investments in our state's multi-modal transportation system. The Five-Year Program is typically updated and approved each year in June. The Five-Year Program encompasses investments in aviation, transit, railroads, trails, and highways. This brochure describes the programming process used by the Commission and Iowa DOT to develop the highway section of the Five-Year Program.
