International Walk to School Month, held each year throughout the month of October, highlights the importance of safe and pedestrian-friendly communities all over the world.
Improving safety and mobility for pedestrians – and all road users – are key to our mission at Iowa DOT Research. Recently we’ve invested in research to investigate how self-heating pavements can be installed at crosswalks and bus loading areas to melt ice and make walkways safer. In addition, our ongoing work with the Fostering Innovation in Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation Pooled Fund Study has helped us develop and implement a variety of innovations that benefit non-motorists across the state.
Learn more about Iowa DOT’s efforts to make our state more safe for pedestrians, and submit your research ideas to help us understand the transportation issues important to you. Our summer research cycle will be accepting ideas until October 31!
Delivering targeted solutions for Iowa's transportation future.
