Transportation Planning Division
JCCOG is designated by the Governor of the State of Iowa as the Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) for the Iowa City Urbanized Area. The Transportation
Planning Division is charged with fulfilling the federal requirements
of the 3-C transportation planning process. This process is required of
all urbanized areas to maintain eligibility for grant programs of the
Federal Transit Administration and Federal Highway Administration.
The 3-C transportation planning process consists of a comprehensive, coordinated
and continuing planning effort for all modes of transportation. In addition
to planning projects which are required by Iowa DOT and U.S. DOT, each
year the Transportation Planning Division assembles a work program of
projects requested by JCCOG members. These projects include short- and
long-range transportation development plans, corridor studies, intersection
analyses, survey reports, and review of development projects. The Transportation
Planning Division also prepares state and federal transportation grant
applications and fulfills the associated administration and regulation
compliance.
