Description
The Iowa Traffic Engineering Assistance Program (TEAP) offers local governments in Iowa access to up to 150 hours of free traffic engineering consulting, delivered as targeted traffic studies. These studies are designed to identify practical, cost-effective improvements for traffic safety and operations, addressing concerns such as pedestrian crossings, high-crash locations, traffic delays, safe school routes, and parking challenges. TEAP studies also provide guidance on potential funding sources for implementing recommended solutions. The program is particularly valuable for cities lacking in-house traffic engineering expertise and for counties seeking technical support.
