* The Survey closes March 31, 2024.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is updating the State Freight Plan to improve freight access, reliability, and connections across the state. Freight helps deliver goods purchased online and food, which can involve multiple modes of transportation. As you think through the questions below, consider all types of modes and freight facilities and how they impact you:

  • Trucks, roadways, and truck stops
  • Freight trains, railroads, and railyards
  • Cargo ships, waterways, and waterway ports
  • Cargo planes and airports
  • Pipelines
  • Multiple modes of freight


Your feedback will help guide investments for the state freight transportation system and help to create a 20-year vision for the future state freight network.
