Freight 101 Webinar Series: Minnesota State Freight Plan

About the Event

This webinar, the first event in CTS's Freight 101 Webinar Series, explored Minnesota's state freight plan and MnDOT's role supporting freight transportation in our state. 

This six-webinar series was held in conjunction with CTS's 2025 theme of "Unpacking Freight: From Producers to Front Doors." The series explored the importance of the freight system to Minnesota and offered a glimpse into how key freight modes work in our state. It featured leaders from the overall freight system as well as trucking, aviation, maritime, rail, and urban logistics sharing their thoughts about the opportunities and challenges facing the freight industry.
