On July 1 , 2003 , the Iowa Department of Transportation transferred control of more than 700 miles ( 1,100 km ) of highway to county and local governments in order to save money and to increase operational efficiency . Most of the highways turned over were short spurs connecting small , rural communities and state parks to the highway system . In 2002 , the Road Use Tax Fund Committee , a mix of city , county , and state transportation officials , met to review and recommend changes to Iowa 's public road system . The report was necessitated by increasing costs to maintain the highway system and a level of funding that was not keeping up with the rising costs . The committee identified over 700 miles ( 1,100 km ) of state highways which could be turned over to local jurisdictions . Most of the committee 's recommendations were accepted and on July 1 , 2003 , over 600 miles ( 970 km ) of state highways were turned over to the counties or local jurisdictions .
