Andrea White, Statewide Planning Coordinator with the Iowa DOT, was at a CIRTPA meeting and discussed proposed changes to the current suballocation process. Those included: Allowing non-cirtpa members to apply for CIRTPA funding; Focus on funding more regional projects; and, Use project applications. CIRTPA approved the creation of a committee to review the proposed changes with at least three members from the Policy and three members from the Technical Committees. This committee met on November 2, 2016, to discuss these issues. From that meeting the committee made the following recommendations: 6.6% percentage of funding to be made available to non-cirtpa entities. 2.2% for HIRTA and 4.4% for small communities under 5,000 population but above 500. If CIRTPA doesn t award all of the funding for small communities and/or CIRTPA then the Iowa DOT would be eligible for funding.
