Description
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is pleased to present the 2024 Transportation System Performance Report to the Legislature. As required by Minn. Stat. 174.03, Subd. 12(d), the report presents trunk highway and transportation system performance measures, describes performance gaps, and outlines the agency’s progress toward achieving the state transportation goals established in section 174.01.
Minnesota’s transportation system is complex, and to improve performance, MnDOT and its partners regularly assess the system management strategies in place, revisit current performance measures for improvement and evaluate where new performance measures are needed. Although specific performance measures and performance measurement efforts described in the report are in different stages of development – including Transportation Insecurity and those related to the reduction of Green House Gas Emissions and Vehicle Miles Traveled - MnDOT continues to make progress.
MnDOT has observed performance gains in several areas over the last year such as improved travel times on MnDOT-operated roadways and decreasing roadway fatalities. However, as use of the transportation system continues to increase following the decreases observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, roadway safety overall continues to be a challenge with the number of serious injuries on Minnesota roadways continuing to increase year-to-year and at the highest point in last five years. Additionally, while still meeting most infrastructure condition performance targets, the percentage of bridges, culverts, and pavement moving into poor conditions have slightly increased. MnDOT is actively assessing infrastructure maintenance and investment strategies to maintain performance and steward transportation resources well.
