What we do
The mission of the Office of Traffic Engineering (OTE) is to reduce fatal and life changing crashes on Minnesota roadways, to enhance the mobility of all users, and to develop and deploy new technologies and innovative cost-effective traffic solutions. OTE provides direct services through guidance, resources and training to MnDOT districts, cities, counties, contractors, and consultants. OTE is an active member of the State’s Toward Zero Deaths initiative, working in collaboration with an extensive network of partners, including state agencies, local government, and educational institutions.
