Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan

Investing wisely

Like you, MnDOT has a budget for its expenses. We all make responsible decisions to spend money on our basic needs—shelter, food, clothing. MnDOT also makes responsible decisions to invest funds in maintaining the existing system to a basic level of performance. Beyond the bare necessities, MnDOT has to make tough decisions on how to spend resources in the most efficient and effective ways. Planning helps guide these decisions. That’s what the Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan is for. In fact, the update is so important to the success of the future system that is required under federal and state law.

We live in a great state, and it takes a lot of resources to keep people and goods moving. Given the aging of infrastructure and the overall state of our highway system, there aren’t enough funds to address all of Minnesota’s existing transportation system priorities. Without additional funding, we cannot solve every transportation problem in Minnesota. That’s why, every five years, MnDOT writes a plan for how to invest its anticipated budget. We can only plan for dollars we can expect to have for the next 20 years. From 2023-2042, MnDOT projected $30-$33 billion in available revenue.
