Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan

Minnesota is facing many changes.

Minnesota is facing many changes. These shifts—in demographics, technology, environment, economy and travel behavior —will affect how people and goods move throughout the state. It is important we proactively plan to address these changes, so we can achieve our vision of a multimodal transportation system that maximizes the health of people, the environment and our economy.

That’s why, every five years, MnDOT writes a plan for the future of the state’s multimodal transportation network. The plan looks at all types of transportation. It evaluates the status of the transportation system, what’s changing, and how we’re going to move forward over the next twenty years. The update is so important to the success of the future system that it is required under both federal and state law. We are in the process of the 2022 update now.

As we proceed with our update, we are focusing on six topics that will shape Minnesota's future and our transportation system: aging infrastructure, climate change, economy and employment, equity, safety and transportation options. These focus areas were chosen by the public, stakeholders and partners to reflect the most urgent issues facing our communities, and will guide our transportation system for years to come.

From the fall 2019 to spring 2022, MnDOT will be updating the Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan. Thank you for helping us shape the future of Minnesota!
