Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study & Regional Planning Affiliation 8

The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) is currently updating its Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). DMATS updates its LRTP every five years as required by federal law. The LRTP maps out a long range vision for managing and improving the region’s transportation system over the next 30 years. This update will ensure that the plan meets current federal requirements and reflects the evolving transportation needs of the region. The updated LRTP is scheduled for completion by October 2026.

Get Involved
Community input is essential to developing a plan that accurately reflects the priorities of the region. The LRTP development process will seek out input from the community. DMATS has created a survey to collect community input for the LRTP. Click the link below to take the survey.
