FY 2024 Biodiesel Fuel Revolving Fund Expenditures Report, January 28, 2025
Get PDFPursuant to Iowa Code section 307.20, the biodiesel fuel revolving fund (Fund) was created and is to be used to purchase biodiesel fuel for use in the Iowa Department of Transportation’s vehicles. The Act directed that the Fund receive money from the sale of EPAct credits banked by the DOT on the effective date of the act, monies appropriated by the General Assembly, and any other monies obtained or accepted by the DOT for deposit in the Fund. The report is of the expenditures made from the Fund during FY 2024
FY2024 Retail Sales and Use Tax Annual Report, January 2025

2023 Iowa Communicable Disease Report
Get PDFThis report provides an overview of disease investigations and represents only a fraction of work accomplished by IDPH staff each year. The time invested in each disease report varies greatly by disease and nature of the report. Some reports require a quick database query and update of an electronic file. Others require hours of staff time in contact tracing, mentoring and assisting other health investigators, and communication, education, and implementation of interventions
Research Solutions: Integrating Connected Vehicle and Road Weather Technologies for Enhanced Safety, TPF-5(435), March2025
No full textConnected vehicles (CVs) and road weather information system (RWIS) stations are both valuable sources of road condition data. Combining the data from these sources could increase the value of this information and enhance road safety and traffic control. Iowa DOT and other state transportation agencies sought to understand the state of the practice and potential challenges to integrating CV and RWIS data. Researchers identified a range of potential issues and provided recommendations to deploy the combined technologies

Research Solutions: Riverine Infrastructure Database Assesses Infrastructure Flood Risk Enhances Safety, 21-SPR0-004, 2025
No full textDuring flood events, it can be difficult to find relevant hydrologic and hydraulic information for assessing the vulnerability of infrastructure. In many cases, the information is not available or can be very time-consuming to obtain and evaluate. Without good information regarding the hydraulic relationship between infrastructure and flood discharges, it is difficult to be proactive with regard to the protection of lives, property, and infrastructure. The Riverine Infrastructure Database (RIDB) is an effort the Iowa DOT started around 2008, after widespread flooding in the central and eastern parts of Iowa, to begin the collection of data to support rapid assessment of infrastructure during flooding events. The Iowa DOT provided the research team two sources of data including a spatial database and file database to support the effort to create the RIDB as a relational database in a geographical information system (GIS) environment. Using the provided data, Python scripts were developed to extract relevant data from the file database for over 270 sites including a site summary, feature summary, frequency curves, and one or more rating curves to further the development of the RIDB. The RIDB developed from the data is made up of multiple interconnected layers and tables that represent the stream network and infrastructure in Iowa and that help to identify locations where flooding may have impacts. An architecture was developed for the RIDB system, including the core process developed to continuously monitor flooding impacts. Using stream flows provided by the IFC’s HLM, the system has the ability to utilize the rating curves for each infrastructure feature to quickly determine whether the stream flows will result in features or controls being overtopped or whether the flow will be over the critical discharge level that may result in scour. The RIDB developed as part of this project shows how maintaining a database of hydraulic and infrastructure data can support an agency in assessing the vulnerability of infrastructure during high-stress flooding events. The RIDB can also support scenario planning to allow the Iowa DOT to directly input stream flows or stage values to assess potential impacts across the network. The RIDB also supports additional resiliency analysis, as the flood frequency curves can be used to determine what severity of flooding events will impact infrastructure
