Purpose and Overview
The purpose of this project is to work with rural, Tribal, and small urban transit providers throughout Greater Minnesota –– to develop a Greater Minnesota Public Transit Technology Plan. The Plan will build on MnDOT’s recent collaborative development of 5-year Transit System Plans and will support and also draw from the August 2020 Technology Summit.
Key Project Components
- Assess and evaluate completed transit technology planning activities
- Work with key stakeholders to define a statewide transit technology vision
- Collaboratively identify technology goals and objectives
- Research other systems and trends to build an understanding of options for technology investments
- Produce a Greater Minnesota Public Transit Technology Plan
Plan Development Process
MnDOT has hired TransitPlus, a consulting team with expertise in transit technology, to work with all key stakeholders to develop this Plan by April 2021. TransitPlus will directly engage key stakeholders and work with a Steering Committee of providers that will help coordinate and support the engagement and Plan-development process.
