Minnesota Advances Climate, Equity, and Health Goals with 20-Year Transportation Plan

In January 2023, Minnesota’s Department of Transportation (MnDOT) adopted the Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan, which commits the state to decreasing annual GHG emissions from the transportation sector 80% by 2040 while integrating equity into policy planning and execution. Over the next two decades, the state will also expand multi-modal transportation options and increase the percentage of Minnesotans who walk, bike, or take public transit on a regular basis.
