The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) MnDOT is collecting feedback on its future budget for the state highway network, called the Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan (MnSHIP). This network includes interstates like I-94 and other state highways like Olson Memorial Highway. This plan will guide how MnDOT spends its $35,000,000,000 budget on the state highway system over the next 20 years. MnDOT’s public comment survey is open through early May so now is a critical time to make your voice heard.
