Abstract

The INRCOG planning region (Area VII) encompasses Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Butler, Chickasaw, and Grundy Counties, or 3, 163 square miles within which a population of approximately 223,000 persons currently reside. The INRCOG jurisdiction within Iowa is shown in Figure 1. This R-TDP Update maintains the regional transit planning efforts initiated in FY 1976 and updated and reformatted in FY 1977. Ongoing planning reflected in this Update has emphasized an initial regional survey of transit users and non-users and has further addressed a reaffirmation and refinement of regional transit program concepts. The past year marks a transition from individual reporting of operations and budgets to a uniform reporting system implemented cooperatively by the Iowa DOT and INRCOG during FY 1979. Improved transportation data from within the region will enable more effective surveillance and program refinement to take place as the R-TDP is implemented in succeeding years.
