There are some big and positive organizational changes\ntaking place at the Iowa DOT that will further enhance efforts to support the\nmultimodal nature of Iowa\u2019s transportation system, including aviation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new Modal Transportation Bureau has been created for\naviation, public transportation, and rail to best utilize valuable resources\nand expertise available at the Iowa DOT. Tammy Nicholson has been named the\ndirector of the Modal Transportation Bureau, coming in with previous experience\nthat includes leading rail for the Iowa DOT, and most recently as director of\nthe Iowa DOT\u2019s Location and Environment Bureau. Tammy brings a commitment to\nsupporting Iowa\u2019s multimodal transportation system, and for assuring all modes\nof transportation are considered in the development of transportation\nsolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within the new bureau, dedicated leadership will be assigned\nto each mode. This will include the hiring of a Director of Aviation who will\nwork with the aviation team to advocate for, plan, and provide services to\nsupport a strong aviation system. You may recall a previous leadership position\nwas split between both Aviation and Public Transit, and this change is\nresponsive to input the Iowa DOT has previously received from stakeholders. A\ndedicated director will provide improved focus, collaboration, and resource\nutilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Modal Transportation Bureau is now part of a new\nTransportation Development Division at Iowa DOT that will better integrate\nmultimodal efforts by having the project development activities for all modes,\nincluding highway, coordinated within one division. Stuart Anderson has been\nnamed the director of the new Transportation Development Division. Stu has\nworked extensively with aviation and remains committed to working closely with\naviation stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These organizational changes at the Iowa DOT do not involve\nlayoffs or downsizing. The same team members including Brian Kuennen, Mike\nMarr, Tim McClung, and Shane Wright are committed to aviation, will remain in\nplace, and will continue to be your primary contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aviation is an important component of Iowa\u2019s multi-modal\ntransportation system. These changes will help in the development and safety of\nan aviation system that will meet the future needs for general aviation,\npassenger air service, military, and unmanned aircraft systems. The Iowa DOT\nlooks forward to continuing our work with aviation stakeholders to support\nIowa\u2019s transportation system!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
