The draft State Rail Plan will soon be available for your review and comments.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is asking Minnesota businesses and residents to provide feedback on the final draft of the Minnesota State Rail Plan. The final draft of the plan will be available on this site in May 2025. All comments received will be used to guide updates to the plan, which shapes the future of Minnesota’s rail infrastructure and investments.

The Minnesota State Rail Plan envisions the future of Minnesota’s rail transportation system over the next 20 years. The plan describes the importance of railroads to Minnesota’s economy, the state of the current rail system and trends, and identifies key rail investments that better support the transportation of goods, services and people throughout Minnesota. The plan guides and supports MnDOT’s efforts to ensure rail and all modes of transportation work together to move Minnesota.

What are the vision and goals of the State Rail Plan?

The Rail Plan’s vision and goals are aligned with those of Minnesota’s Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan (SMTP).

MnDOT invites and encourages participation by all. If you feel you need reasonable accommodation because of a disability to fully participate in this event (such as an ASL or a spoken language interpreter), or need documents in an alternative format (such as braille or large print), please contact: 651-366-4720 or ADArequest.dot@statemn.us
