The newly published Minnesota Freight Advisory Committee (MFAC) 2025 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. The 2025 report denotes how specific items in the Freight Action Agenda have been advanced throughout the year.
The report also covers work MFAC members, stakeholders, and partners have undertaken on legislative advocacy and raising awareness through events and webinars on key topics such as cargo theft and fraud, tariffs, sustainability, and the development of freight modeling tools.
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.
