We are developing a Metro District Freight Plan. This plan will provide local decision makers with a better understanding of the freight system, needs, and issues specific to the Metro District. It will be used to inform future freight transportation system policies, programs and projects in the region. An improved understanding of the Metro freight system helps us to better ensure Minnesotans have access to key goods and services.

Once the Metro District Freight Plan is completed, all MnDOT districts will have a District Freight Plan that analyzes the long-term district freight issues and needs. This plan is being completed at the same time as an update to the Statewide Freight Plan.

We want to hear your experiences and thoughts on freight. We want to hear from stakeholders and communities who haven’t traditionally been involved in freight planning. We will use this platform to keep you updated about the development of the Metro District Freight Plan and public engagement opportunities such as online surveys. We will also gather feedback from freight industry experts, manufacturers, shippers, carriers, and other stakeholders to help us develop the plan.

How can we improve the delivery of goods and supplies?

We want your help to find places where we can improve how we move things like food, clothes, and other items around the Twin Cities area. Your ideas will help us plan for freight for the next 20 years.
