The newly published Minnesota Freight Advisory Committee (MFAC) 2024 Annual Report (PDF) examines the vital role freight transportation plays to ensure a robust, diverse, and resilient Minnesota economy.
MFAC plays a critical role in the continued development and implementation of the Minnesota State Freight Plan and its Freight Action Agenda, which helps the state secure additional funding for freight projects and focuses efforts on priority freight improvements.
In addition to the state freight plan, the report covers efforts to address the commercial driver shortage, effects of the infusion of new federal and state funding for transportation projects, insights into artificial intelligence’s role in freight operations, and other highlights from the past year.
The mission of MFAC is to advise MnDOT and other public agencies and officials on the condition of Minnesota’s multimodal freight transportation system and recommend freight policies, programs, and investments to support the state’s economic competitiveness and to enhance safety.
