MnDOT has completed a draft of its new scoring system for the Corridors of Commerce program to conform with the new project selection mandates adopted by the Legislature during the 2017 session. MnDOT staff will travel the state to present the draft scoring system to the public and receive feedback. We want to make sure that Highway 14 members are aware of two upcoming opportunities to hear from the agency about the new scoring system and provide feedback on how it might impact Highway 14.

The draft scoring system has not yet been made available for the public to review, but we expect it will be soon. Our first opportunity to hear about it directly from MnDOT will be at the two Area Transportation Partnership meetings listed below. Please plan to attend one of these meetings if you are able. This will be a great opportunity to hear directly from MnDOT about how the new project selection system might impact Highway 14 and learn how we can best continue to advocate to get the job done.

Here are the meeting details:

Rochester – District 6 Area Transportation Partnership Meeting
Friday, Nov. 17, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
