Abstract

Because transportation projects can greatly affect a community, public input is extremely important. Public involvement opportunities allow the public a chance to provide ideas and comments regarding the development of a transportation project. This I-380 Public Involvement Plan (PIP) is the guiding document for the public involvement process. The I-380 Planning Study will follow the Planning Environmental Linkages (PEL) model, (also commonly referred to as the Planning Study), which allows the system decisions made with the planning study to be carried into subsequent project development. The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) is preparing the planning study for Interstate 380 (I-380) which extends from U.S. 30 in Cedar Rapids to just north of I-80. Interstate 380 is vital to the economy providing the infrastructure to move people and goods throughout the region. The purpose of the Planning Study is to determine whether the current infrastructure will meet the demands over the next 30 years and identify the potential improvements necessary in the foreseeable future.
