Transportation is the lifeblood of our state – getting people to jobs, services and activities; carrying children to school; and allowing businesses to transport goods. To thrive, communities need safe, reliable, affordable, and convenient transportation options, and well-maintained infrastructure including roads, bridges, railways, and runways. We track data on access to destinations, congestion, pavement condition, and transportation expenses to better understand how well Minnesota is doing in providing efficient and safe transportation and infrastructure.
