Public transportation systems in Iowa include the 35 public transit systems PLUS a wide array of human service and private transportation providers. The goals are: 1. Improve transportation services to Iowans 2. Increase passenger transportation coordination 3. Create awareness of unmet needs 4. Develop new working partnerships 5. Assist decision-makers, advocates, and consumers in understanding the range of transportation options available 6. Develop justification for future passenger transportation investments 7. Save dollars and eliminate overlapping of services The PTPs are an Iowa creation, providing needs-based justification for passenger transportation projects and as well as incorporating federal requirements for coordinated planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MPO and CIRTPA FFY 2019-2023 Passenger Transportation Plan (PTP) can be found&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Passenger-Transportation-Plan-FY-2019-2023-Draft-DOT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Providers-Inventory-2017.xlsx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Transportation Provider Inventory (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Need Help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/feedback%20on%20transportation%20barriers\/?\" target=\"_blank\">United Way of Central Iowa 2-1-1<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifelonglinks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Iowa Department on Aging \u2013 Lifelong Links<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MPO staff facilitates the Bike-Ped Roundtable, Environment Roundtable, Freight Roundtable, Traffic Management Advisory Committee, Transportation Advisory Group, and Smart City Roundtable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23655,"parent":23607,"menu_order":15,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width-page.php","meta":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23654"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23654"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26074,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23654\/revisions\/26074"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmampo.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
