Small Town Sign Replacement Program
The Iowa Department of Transportation’s Office of Traffic and Safety is now accepting applications, from communities with populations of 5,000 or less, to replace damaged, obsolete or substandard signs and signposts. The program will provide up to $5,000 of signs and signposts per applying community on a first come first serve basis. All eligible applicants are encouraged to apply even if they have already participated in a similar program in the past.This year the responsibilities of an assessment of need, ordering and proper location and installation of posts will rest with the communities themselves. Guidance to perform all of these tasks and all other information regarding the program is now available on this website and will be supplied upon request to interested parties.
The signs and signposts available through the program will be limited to those listed on the right. This year we will be making square tubing (Telespar is currently stocked) and some associated accessories available for mounting of posts and signs with this system.
