State of Iowa to Continue Printing Road Maps, But Once Every Two Years

The Iowa House and Senate have voted to spend more money to print road maps of the State of Iowa. "I know the maps are being used," Representative Daniel Huseman, a Republican from Aurelia, said. "We know that because, for example, this year they ran out of them early."

The state is scheduled to spend $242,000 to print 1.8 million maps in 2015. The Iowa DOT, however, will be printing maps once every two years rather than once a year. It means about a million fewer maps will be available for distribution over the two-year period.
