Together, we worked for the best interests of the state. We designated the projects that need a boost to get the attention of state highway authorities for future funding. The highway bill before Congress also contains substantial federal formula funding for Iowa road projects. The formula is key to the maintenance and expansion of Iowa's roadway and bridge network.
Highways are the arteries and veins of commerce and crucial to Iowa's economic growth.
This funding will improve the quality of our transportation and attract business, remove bottlenecks, and improve the safety of our roads. We worked as well to increase transit funds for rural areas and smaller cities. As a result, new projects can be slated for formula funding sooner than previously anticipated, they said.
