Advancing Multimodal Planning at MnDOT: A Vision for the Future
In February 2010, MnDOT established the Office of Statewide Multimodal Planning to enhance multimodal transportation planning. This initiative aims to influence investment decisions through coordinated planning across various modal offices. Key goals include expanding district planning roles, developing a long-term vision for transportation, and improving outreach and stakeholder engagement. A 50-year vision, initiated with the formation of advisory groups and workshops in 2011, emphasizes the importance of quality data and systematic planning to ensure consistency and effective collaboration across all transportation modes.
