Abstract

Iowa is a state undergoing a major transition economically, socially, and demographically. The state has much to suggest that its economic future well may be bright: a well-educated population that possesses a good work ethic, a central location within the United States, a reputation for openness and free discussion of m3tters of public interest, and many businesses recognized as innovators and producers of high quality products. The report addresses one major purpose of the project: to present a clear, useful summary and assessment of transportation services in Iowa. Various modes and areas of the state are analyzed for level and cost of service, financing practices, and emerging trends in movements of goods and people. This assessment provides a sound basis for the analysis to follow in later stages of the project.
