Minnesota Governor's Council on Connected and Automated Vehicles: 2024 Annual Report

In 2024, Minnesota continued to be a national leader with its connected and automated vehicles (CAV) academic research, industry work, and partnerships with state and local governments. Minnesota’s on-going AV pilot project in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, goMARTI, continues to gain national and international recognition for both its emphasis on AV technology advancements and increasing accessibility for folks with limited transportation options.

After a pause in 2023, the Governor’s Council on CAV restarted in 2024 with new members, and was a year rich in accomplishments, making progress on established recommendations. This iteration of the Council strives to be more action-focused and establish clear CAV-based recommendations for Minnesota by looking at what our state needs, where there is opportunity, and where there is risk. The members represent a variety of backgrounds, bringing valuable perspectives which enhance the discussion and provide recommendations that support all Minnesotans.
