The Iowa Department of Transportation is asking for public help in determining which state rest areas along interstate highways are staying, and which ones will go away. D-O-T spokesperson Andrea Henry says this is the third phase of the review the rest area program.

Henry says the state has 38 full-service rest areas and 16 that are for parking only. She says they have looked at a variety of factors to see how the rest areas are being used.

Henry says they will be taking public comment through September of 2019. She says it stretches for more than one year to give time for a study of truck parking that’s underway to be completed.
