A
B
B
The
m0
mpo
is
a
regional
transportation
planning
agency
for
this
aim
city
as
well
as
Gilbert,
and
the
region
of
story
county
at
boone
county
that
are
part
of
that
as
well.
I
got
involved
through
I
I
did
the
urban
planning
program
and
Iowa
State
University
and
add
a
college
actually
started
an
MPO
down
at
Texas
for
a
couple
of
years,
so
just
really
been
involved
in
interested
in
transportation
and
continuing
that
enhancement
in
that
community
as
well.
So.
B
B
A
B
There's
a
lot
of
focus
to
expand
that
we've
done
very
good
job,
making
sure
that
Carson
travel
as
well
as
they
possibly
can
and
there's
a
sort
of
a
new
movement
sort
of
going
back
to
a
more
traditional
sense
of
incorporating
all
sorts
of
modes
so
that
it's
very
equitable
as
well
as
it's.
It's
also
very
efficient
to
have
a
lot
of
different
opportunities
in
different
ways,
and
you
can
actually,
then
you
can
also
move
more
people
than
just
relying
on
single
mode.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
emphasis
to
now,
especially
on
bicycle
planning,
as
well
as
transit
and
enhancing
the
great
transit
services
that
are
already
avail
in
central
Iowa
as
well
as
this
plan
will
also
focus
and
the
region
as
well
on
other
parts
such
as
freight
rail
trail
transportation,
as
well
as
air
transportation
as
well.
So.
A
You
mentioned
the
great
transportation
that
we
have
here,
obviously
on
public
transit
with
in
Ames,
very
popular
with
our
cyride
public
transit
system.
I
love
the
words
we
have
our
intermodal
facility,
but
we
also
talked
about
being
a
multimodal
community
kind
of
buzzwords.
But
maybe
you
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
idea
of
multimodal
which
you
kind
of
did
so.
B
Multimodal
is
the
idea
that
there's
more
ways
to
transport
than
just
a
single
single
mode.
So,
instead
of
assuming
that
every
trip
is
going
to
be
made
using
a
car
you
can,
you
can
sort
of
breakout
depend
all
the
different
things
we
know
about.
The
people
that
live
in
central
in
the
Ames
region,
as
well
as
how
people
have
historically
wrote
in
some
new
technologies
and
new
advancements
and
transportation
planning,
will
allow
us,
with
this
upcoming
plan,
to
actually
anticipate
some
of
the
different
ways
that
people
will
move.
B
A
B
A
I'm
informing
this
plan,
you
obviously
want
a
lot
of
public
input
and
I
cannot
think
of
very
few
other
projects
that
really
touch
every
single
citizen.
Even
if
you
don't
even
drive
a
car,
you
walk
on
the
sidewalks.
You
bike,
you
maybe
take
public
transit
again
all
those
models,
the
different
multi
modal
forms
of
transportation
that
people
take.
So
how
important
is
public
input
to
this
process?
It's.
B
Very
important
and
I'm
very
excited
for
this
process.
We're
going
to
do
a
couple
of
new
things
to
try
to
capitalize
on
how
much
technology
is
it
has
advanced
in
the
last
couple
of
years
and
to
bring
in
as
many
people
into
this
process
as
possible.
You're
right,
it
really
does
reflect
and
incorporate
every
sort
of
user
in
the
system
whether
they
live
here
or
just
come
here
a
couple
times
a
year.
B
So
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
is,
along
with
some
more
traditional
public
outreach
and
going
out
to
the
community
as
well
as
hosting
some
public
meetings.
We're
also
going
to
be
doing
a
couple
things
on
our
website.
We
have
a
new
project
page
that
we've
just
launched
at
Ames
mobility,
2040
com,
so.
B
So
not
only
there
going
to
be
a
clearinghouse
of
all
the
sort
of
reports
and
memos
that
will
be
coming
out,
but
there's
also
a
couple
of
different
features
that
will
include
getting
input
from
the
public
that
you
can
use
sort
of
a
Google
map
and
put
comments,
draw
lines
on
it
and
submit
comments.
That
way.
We're
also
doing
a
newer
thing
that
I'm
not
sure
that
the
aims
are
is
got
to
play
with
quite
yet
called
mine.
B
Mixer
it's
using
a
few
communities
and
we're
kind
of
using
that
as
our
virtual
town
hall,
so
throughout
the
project,
will
be
putting
up
different
topics
for
comment
where
people
can
sign
in
and
discuss
different
ideas
and
really
have
a
community-driven
list
of
priorities
and
topics
and
projects
from
that
way.
As
well.
So.
A
B
I
like
to
think
of
it,
sort
of
like
a
facebook
where
we
curate
some
topics
and
really
get
into
a
more
community
discussion.
That's
maybe
a
little
bit
gives
people
some
chance
to
be
a
little
more
open
and
to
really
get
into
some
topics
where
it
might
be
very
uninteresting
on
facebook
to
really
get
into
a
discussion
bottom,
but
bicycle
lane,
perhaps
or
a
roundabout.
So
it
should
be
a
really
good
place
for
that.
Well,.
B
So
one
of
the
great
things
about
my
mixer
as
well
is
we'll
have
a
number
of
staff
that
will
not
only
be
sort
of
moderating
but
will
also
be
listening.
So
we
think
this
will
be
a
really
important
venue
so
that
people
feel
that
not
only
are
they
putting
things
on
the
site
and
their
discussion
that
discussing
it
with
others,
but
then
the
staff
and
as
well
as
some
of
the
policy
makers
as
well,
will
be
listening
following
the
conversation
and
getting
involved
with
it
as
well.
So.
A
This
is
a
great
option,
so
much
of
our
traditional
way
of
gathering
public
input
has
been
come
to
our
meeting
talk
to
us
and
in
today's
day
and
age
that
just
isn't
a
reality
for
a
lot
of
people.
I
love
this
digital
interaction,
capturing
those
comments,
those
thoughts
of
people
who
maybe
don't
have
time
or
the
desire
to
attend
a
long
meeting
right.
B
There's
just
there's
a
lot
of
different
parts
of
the
aims
community.
We
think
that
this
will
be
something
that
will
really
resonate
with
the
large
portion
of
the
aims
community
and
it's
so
easy
to
access.
Not
only
can
you
do
it
on
a
desktop,
but
you
can
do
it
on
a
smartphone.
It's
designed
for
that
as
well.
So
when
you're
taking
the
bus
or
just
over
lunch,
it's
something
that
you
can
easily
plug
into
so.
A
B
B
B
So
we're
going
to
be
releasing
that
information
through
a
number
of
different
ways
through
the
city
of
Ames
website,
through
press
releases
as
well
through
our
social
media
outlets
with
Facebook
and
Twitter,
and
then
also
on
our
website.
Once
you
get
to
it,
you
can
also
sign
up
to
get
updates
as
well
again.
A
B
A
If
you
want
more
information
about
the
Ames
area,
long-range
transportation
plan
again,
those
websites
are
Ames
mobility,
2040,
calm
or
city
of
Ames,
org,
always
a
good
place
for
information
at
any
time
of
the
year
and
speaking
of
times
the
year.
You
might
want
to
remember
that
Halloween
this
year
is
on
Friday
October
thirty-first,
that
is
the
day
recommended
for
trick-or-treating
hours
from
5
30
to
7
30.
We
also
have
yard
waste
free
days
coming
up
in
october
november,
and
you'll
want
to
check
our
website
for
the
more
information
on
those
as
well.
