The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MDOT) has delivered a report in an effort to help guide its future transportation efforts while focusing on better serving manufacturers and other freight businesses in the state.
MDOT dubbed the report “Manufacturers’ Perspectives on Minnesota’s Transportation System, District 3 Central Minnesota.” The report reveals the results of 126 different interviews with manufacturers and freight carriers across Central Minnesota.
“I’d like to thank the businesses that participated in the study,” said Mike Ginnaty, District Engineer for MDOT District 3, according to an MDOT press release. “They discussed a range of transportation concerns. As a result, the district has and will continue to identify opportunities to address those concerns with short-term, lower-cost actions whenever possible, through maintenance, operational traffic changes like signal timing, and with the scheduled improvements included in MDOT’s four-year construction program.”
