The research encompassed three phases between 2010 and 2011: (1) an extensive literature review on QOL, (2) 24 focus groups that asked Minnesota’s citizens about their QOL, and (3) a mail questionnaire about what matters in quality of life, transportation and their intersection. Results reveal: QOL is complex and transportation plays an important and consistent role in it across Minnesota; transportation is critical to QOL because it connects us to important destinations in aspects that matter most; and Minnesotans can readily identify what matters and how the state is performing within the breadth of transportation services.This groundbreaking research sought citizen input on what comprised Quality of Life and what role transportation played in it. this research explored in detail the important factors across the breadth of transportation and how the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) was performing on these important factors.enMNDOTtransportationperformanceassessmentReport
