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 to evaluate policy implementation, with MnDOT's Office of Transit and Active Transportation collaborating with stakeholders to shape the future of transit in Greater Minnesota. The plan builds on previous related plans to create comprehensive transit strategies and recommendations.

Plan goals

  • Update MnDOT's transit policies
  • Increase mobility and access for all Minnesotans
  • Establish goals and strategies for public transit that promote coordinated, equitable, and innovative mobility
  • Guide priorities for transit service and investments post-COVID-19
  • Develop clear and understandable metrics for both rural and urban systems
  • Create future transit strategies, policies, and recommendations that shape the future of transit in Minnesota


We want to hear from YOU!
