Statewide Iowa — The numbers for planes, trains, and automobiles continue to show a rebound in traffic following drops during the COVID pandemic.
The Department of Transportation’s Stuart Anderson gave a report on highway traffic Tuesday to the state Transportation Commission.
Anderson says there is still some impact from workers telecommuting.
Anderson cites the I-235 route through Des Moines as an example where numbers are lower as some businesses haven’t returned to in-person work. He says the most recent air travel numbers reflect the recovery.
Anderson says freight traffic has also rebounded. He says the rail freight traffic hasn’t fully recovered in part because of the situation with cars and trucks are not being shipped as heavily right now.
