Abstract

To develop local coordination plans in Greater Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Office of Transit partnered with local planning organizations in Greater Minnesota's twelve economic development regions in 2011. These plans engaged diverse stakeholders in identifying strategies for regional transportation coordination and articulating specific projects that could advance coordination strategies in each region. This synthesis highlights the themes found in the 2011 coordination plans, which include the need to improve the coordination of services and resources, increase public awareness, implement mobility management strategies, expand services, reduce expenses, and overcome regulatory barriers. This synthesis also outlines the accomplishments and implementation challenges that have occurred throughout Greater Minnesota since the completion of the 2006 coordination plans. Accomplishments include raising awareness of transit coordination, expanding services and programs, coordinating services, and completing marketing initiatives. Common challenges included a lack of funding, leadership, local partnerships, and policymaker support. Policies and regulations were another barrier to coordination efforts.
