Public Transportation Roundtable
The Public Transportation Roundtable functions as an arena to discuss public transportation-related topics of interest to the Des Moines metro and central Iowa. This roundtable also makes recommendations to the MPO regarding public transportation-related issues. Formerly known as the Transit Roundtable, the mission of the Public Transportation Roundtable is“…to promote the expansion of a coordinated, comprehensive, and multimodal transportation system that will increase the quality of life for central Iowa residents, reduce dependency on personal automobiles, and increase mobility for those who cannot or choose not to use other transportation modes, by identifying both short and long-term public transportation needs and deficiencies in central Iowa.”
The Public Transportation Roundtable includes representatives from local public and private transportation providers, local governments, the Iowa Legislature, the Greater Des Moines Partnership, the Des Moines International Airport, and the Iowa Department of Transportation. The Public Transportation Roundtable meets approximately once every other month, with Polk County Supervisor Angela Connolly serving as the chair. Please click here for more information.
