We're working to update Minnesota’s State Freight Plan. The plan is a federally required effort that envisions the future needs to move goods and services to serve Minnesota’s economy over the next 20 years. It's vital to identify key investments in the freight system statewide and to better support the transportation of goods and services across modes. This update will link into previous statewide engagement efforts, including the Manufacturer Perspectives’ Studies and regional district freight plans.

MnDOT provided the public an opportunity to review and comment on the draft 2024 Minnesota State Freight Plan. The draft State Freight Plan is available for review on MnDOT’s Minnesota GO website at www.minnesotago.org/final-plans/state-freight-plan. A paper copy of the draft State Freight Plan is also available for review at each of the MnDOT District Headquarters offices, located in Duluth, Bemidji, Baxter, Detroit Lakes, Rochester, Mankato, Willmar, and Roseville.



Engagement so far

MnDOT has been working with public, nonprofit and private partners across various industry sectors to develop the State Freight Plan. MnDOT utilizes this Let’s Talk Transportation site as one way to engage with the public. MnDOT also engaged with the public and other stakeholders through pop-up tables at events throughout the state, and held stakeholder interviews and discussions.
