Greater Minnesota Transit Plan

Purpose

The Greater Minnesota Transit Plan (GMTP) aims to update MnDOT's transit policies, assess mobility needs, and establish goals and strategies for public transit in both rural and urban regions. It promotes coordinated, equitable, and innovative mobility, reflecting recent trends and guiding post-COVID-19 transit priorities. The GMTP will develop clear metrics for evaluating policy implementation, with MnDOT's Office of Transit and Active Transportation collaborating with various stakeholders to shape the future of transit in Greater Minnesota. The plan builds on previous related plans to create comprehensive transit strategies and recommendations.
