The Iowa DOT Research department's goal is to drive a quality program that delivers targeted solutions for Iowa's transportation future. Our areas of focus include safety, mobility, accessibility, technology, and sustainability of economic, social, and environmental progress. We can help you whether you want to get involved in our research, already have an approved project in the works, or simply want to learn more about our team.
Iowa’s transportation innovations are possible with oversight and technical and financial support from a variety of sources, including the Iowa Highway Research Board, the State Planning & Research Program, and the State Transportation Innovation Council.
