stakeholders
Minnesota County Highway Safety
Plans – What has it accomplished?
In Minnesota:
Toward Zero Deaths was adopted as a long term
vision in 2003.
In 2009, MnDOT changed the distribution of
Highway Safety Improvement Program funds –
from virtually all on State highways to a
distribution proportional to the number of severe
crashes – basically 50% state and 50% local
systems.
