What is Area Transportation Partnership (ATP)?
Mn/DOT created ATP to emphasize greater public involvement in preparation of transportation plans and programs.
There are eight ATPs in Minnesota (one for each Mn/DOT District area).
Every year, the ATPs develop an Annual Transportation Improvement Program (ATIP) which cover a minimum four-year period.
ATIPs include all projects seeking federal aid highway, state trunk highway, and federal transit sources of funding.
Current and past Statewide Transportation Improvement Programs are available on Mn/DOT’s Web site at www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/stateplan
