The Minnesota Department of Transportation has released a draft of the first plan it has ever created for freight transportation in the state.

The public comment period for the plan is from March 14 - April 15, 2005.
The document, entitled Statewide Freight Plan, aims to improve mobility on important statewide trade routes. It also explores public/private partnerships for developing improved policies and funding mechanisms. Mn/DOT developed the plan in coordination with representatives of shippers, carriers, academia, business groups, metropolitan and regional planning organizations and local, state and federal governments.
