Minnesota State Freight Plan

We're working to update Minnesota’s State Freight Plan. The plan is a federally required effort that envisions the future needs to move goods and services to serve Minnesota’s economy over the next 20 years. It's vital to identify key investments in the freight system statewide and to better support the transportation of goods and services across modes. This update will link into previous statewide engagement efforts, including the Manufacturer Perspectives’ Studies and regional District Freight Plans.
