Retired - Formerly MnDOT Policy 6.7
View/print signed policy retirement (PDF)

Reason for retiring policy

The state constitution sets limits on the use of trunk highway funds and the Office of Chief Counsel reviews proposed uses of trunk highway funds from a legal perspective as the need arises. Many factors must be considered when determining whether trunk highway funds may be used for public transit that cannot be easily delineated in a policy. The Office of Chief Counsel reviews these factors on a case-by-case basis. Because the agency relies on the Office of Chief Counsel to provide analysis and recommendations about proposed uses of trunk highway funds, the policy is unnecessary.
