Policy and goals
We want to meet people where they are, identify what is important to them, and make the most of participation opportunities to invest in a safe, sustainable system that gets them where they want to go. Our goal is to:
- Consider needs of the traditionally underserved, such as low-income and minority households.
- Provide continuing public involvement opportunities throughout the transportation planning and program development process.
- Provide timely information to area residents and businesses affected by transportation plans and projects.
- Review and respond to all public input.
- Perform periodic review of our public involvement process to gauge its effectiveness, making revisions as necessary.
MnDOT's public involvement policy is based on an over-arching strategic plan that sets the direction for subsequent plans. It's focus is on priority transportation improvements and investments that result in a system that helps area residents travel safer, smarter and more efficiently. Other initiatives include:
Multicultural engagement and marketing
