AMES, Iowa – Dec. 13, 2022 – The Iowa Transportation Commission approved more than $330,000 in grant funding for one transportation infrastructure-related development project under the Linking Iowa’s Freight Transportation System (LIFTS) program.

The LIFTS program provides grants for projects that help meet the changing demands of Iowa’s multimodal freight system. The program provides funding for freight projects that have economic and public benefit by enhancing the shipment of freight but are typically ineligible for state or federal highway funding. This project will assist in railroad tie rehabilitation of the Iowa Southern Railway based out of Centerville, Iowa in Appanoose County.
