The Passenger Transportation Plan (PTP) is a long-term planning document for the regions of RPA-13 and RPA-18 in Southwest Iowa to promote coordinated transportation planning and create a needs-based project justification for all passenger transportation programs including public transit and human service transportation. RPA-13 is administered by the Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) and RPA-18 is administered by the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA).
Federal guidelines require a 30-day comment period to ensure the public has sufficient time to comment on the plan prior to final approval. Public comment for this plan will take place between February 1 to March 2, 2023.
Final Approval for the plan is anticipated to take place simultaneously during the April RPA-13 and RPA-18 Policy and Technical Committees, after reviewing comments and making necessary adjustments based upon public feedback.
