The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) is implementing a Statewide Park & Ride System Plan. As a part of this process, the DOT is launching its first statewide Park & Ride System website and an accompanying interactive map that identifies state-owned and operated park-and-ride locations, which can be used as places to park your car when connecting with car pools, van pools and public transit. The Iowa DOT provides many park-and-ride lots throughout the state that are open to the public and free of charge. For more information, go to www.iowadot.gov/ParkRide.
