The Greater Des Moines region includes an extensive network of streets, bridges, bicycle facilities, and transit assets. Aging infrastructure and assets will be a critical challenge facing the region over the coming decades. Focusing investment on managing and optimizing our existing transportation systems will ensure that the region remains competitive. These investments should focus on keeping our roadways maintained to a high standard while optimizing our current systems using signal timing and other advances in technology to move people and goods more efficiently throughout the region.
