The Iowa Department of Transportation and Iowa Transportation Commission have been working on the long-range transportation plan for Iowa. The plan provides a framework for how future investments should be made to Iowa’s multimodal transportation system.

A key part of the plan update is collecting public input. In February 2016, public feedback was sought on potential investment categories and strategies, which helped form the overall system vision and the types of investments and strategies to consider. Now, in tandem with Iowa DOT’s State Fair booth theme “Future of Transportation,” a survey has been developed to gather more specific public opinion on what the future of transportation should look like in the state.

This survey will build on the results of the input received in February and initial internal analysis of the highway system. Survey questions focus on how people want to live and travel in the future and what they think of particular highway investment strategies.

The survey and information concerning the plan is available online at: www.iowadot.gov/iowainmotion/index.html. Please revisit this website regularly to stay informed throughout the planning process. Input from the survey will be used to help shape the investment strategies included in the plan.

For questions, please contact the Office of Systems Planning, Iowa Department of Transportation, 800 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa 50010, telephone 515-239-1520, email Iowa.Motion@dot.iowa.gov.

A passenger in a semi was injured during a rollover accident Monday evening, in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 32-year old Daniel Therrier, of Montreal, Quebec, who was not wearing a seat belt, was transported by Underwood Rescue to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs. The accident happened at around 8:25-p.m. on Interstate 80, near mile marker 14.

The Patrol says a 2015 Volvo semi driven by a 37-year old man from St. Laurent, Quebec, was westbound on I-80 when the rig drifted to the right and left the road. The driver tried to maneuver the semi back onto the road, but the vehicle rolled onto its passenger side.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Des Moines mayor says full-time workers for the city deserve a minimum wage of $15 an hour. The Des Moines Register reports Mayor Frank Cownie and the City Council told city staffers Monday to evaluate city job descriptions and functions in developing an ordinance that would guarantee a livable wage. City officials will be reviewing labor contracts as part of the process.

City personnel director James Wells says only a few full-time city positions offer a starting salary range below $15 an hour. Iowa’s state minimum wage is $7.25. Johnson County has been raising its minimum wage for all employers and will top out at $10.10 an hour on Jan. 1. Polk County and Linn County supervisors are expected to consider local wage hikes this fall.
