Focus Area
Pavement Challenges:
In 2013, one third of Minnesotas major roads are in pooror mediocre condition.
It is critical that roads are fixed before they require majorrepairs because reconstructing roads cost approximately four
times more than resurfacing them.
o 12% poor conditiono 19% mediocre condition

Focus AreaSafety Challenges:
Rural Roads (non-interstate):
Fatality rate is triple the rate of fatalities per millionvehicle miles of traveled on all other roads and highways
in the state.
Safety Can Be Enhanced Through:
Adding cable median barriers and rumble strips
Implementing conflict warning systems on ruralintersections
Removing at-grade railroad crossings of major highways10

Return on InvestmentBenefits of Transportation Improvements:
Improved business competitiveness due to reducedproduction and distribution costs as a result of increased
travel speeds and fewer mobility barriers.
A reduction in economic losses from vehicle crashes,traffic congestion and vehicle maintenance costs
associated with driving on deficient roads.
Creation of both short-term and long-term jobs.11

Return on InvestmentJobs:
A 2007 FHWA study found that every $1 billion invested in highwayconstruction supports 27,800 jobs.
o 9,500 direct constructiono 4,300 indirecto 14,000 induced
A 2009 report prepared for APTA found that every $1 billion investedin public transit highway construction supports approximately 36,000jobs.o 17,500 direct constructiono 4,300 indirecto 14,000 induced
The FWHA estimates that each dollar spent on road, highwayand bridge improvements results in an average benefit of $5.20in the form of reduced:o Vehicle maintenance costso Delayso Fuel consumptiono Improved safetyo
Bridge and road maintenance costso Reduced emissions as a result of improved traffic flow
