A meal on the go will have a new meaning for Iowa City residents.

The Iowa City Food Truck Program begins today.

The three-month long pilot program will determine whether expanding vending opportunities for mobile food trucks and food carts will be beneficial for Iowa City.

Food trucks and carts have three sites selected for the program: Chauncey Swan Park, City Park, and the East Side Recycling Center. However, because of flooding, the City Park location is not an option at present.

The program will run until Oct. 31.
