The University of Iowa Driving Safety and Research Institute recently completed a research project to help rural America. The project hopes to combat challenges facing rural communities across Iowa and the nation.
It is a freezing day in January 2024. 18-year-old Hannah Gross cannot leave her farm because fresh snow consumes the gravel roads that are too dangerous to travel on, and no one can get to her family’s farm.
