Investment and policy guidance

The Metro District Highway Investment Plan is MnDOT's investment plan for the eight-county Metro Area for the next 20+ years. It reflects federal, state and regional policy and performance direction; projected funding availability; and priorities. It clarifies performance measures and targets consistent with:

• Statewide Transportation Plan
• MnDOT Strategic Directions
• Metropolitan Council 2030 Regional Development Framework
• Metropolitan Council Transportation Policy Plan

Transportation Planning Studies

Transportation studies are designed to:

• Guide future investments to the state trunk highway system within Metro District’s eight-county metropolitan area
  
• Identify transportation system and service deficiencies and conceptual solutions needed to address desired performance levels (including, but not limited to, infrastructure or operational improvements)

Studies can be conducted at the statewide, regional, corridor, or project level – and may result in concepts that need further scoping and design to develop into construction projects ready for delivery. This early project definition affects later development elements such as programming and project development for consideration in the long range Metro District Highway Investment Plan.
