Background:

The Regional Planning Affiliation 10 (RPA 10) is working to complete the region’s first Active Transportation Plan. The Plan focuses on the non-automobile transportation network, including bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Plan is designed to allow people to move independently within their community, and to experience the landscape between communities for travel or recreational purposes.

About RPA 10:

RPAs conduct transportation planning for non-metropolitan areas in the state of Iowa,

while urban areas are served by Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs).


RPA 10 includes Benton, Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, and Washington Counties.


The Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas, shaded to the right in green and dark blue respectively, are served by MPOs (Corridor MPO and the MPO of Johnson County) rather than by the RPA. However, the RPA always takes the entire region’s transportation needs into consideration when planning.


Active Transportation Survey:

RPA 10 is developing an active transportation plan and is seeking your input about opportunities for walking, running, and cycling in our region.

Click Survey below if you have input about or use any of the above transportation options. It will take just 5-10 minutes to complete. Please answer to the best of your ability; all answers will remain anonymous. Click Map to provide additional inputs about places you usually bike or walk to. The mapped data will be used in planning routes as inputs for the active transportation plan.

Please feel free to contact us at (319) 289-0063 or mary.rump@ecicog.org with any questions or comments. You can also engage with us by visiting the questions, forum and ideas tabs on this project website.

    ECICOG is happy to publish resources from our active transportation planning processes. The publication covers sidewalk assessment maps and survey results dashboards. The sidewalk maps provide a key overview of the sidewalk conditions of cities within the RPA10 area. Dashboards, on the other hand, provide survey highlights and focus on the motivation for biking and walking and opportunities to improve the same across the region. We also provide an overall dashboard summary to give you a regional focus.

    Click on the dashboard section for more, or visit any of our galleries to view and download the sidewalk maps.
