MnSHIP Investment Approaches

MnSHIP’s total revenue will be distributed among ten investment categories. MnSHIP is a fiscally constrained plan, and must balance the needs and risks of each category against those of the others. Each investment category has its own folio describing the trade-offs of different investment levels. Please see page 8 for a list of investment folios.

What is the State Highway Investment Plan?

MnDOT is developing its 20-Year State Highway Investment Plan

• Approach A - Focus on maintaining existing infrastructure

(roads, bridges, roadside infrastructure) on the entire system.

2013-2032 (MnSHIP). The purpose of the plan is to provide a fiscally constrained investment direction, linking the policies and strategies laid out in the Statewide Multimodal Transportation

• Approach B - The current investment direction illustrates how

MnDOT currently invests, based on the most recently approved statewide investment direction.

Plan to capital improvements on the state highway system. The

MnSHIP update process uses a risk and performance-based

• Approach C - Focus on meeting infrastructure needs on interstates and increasing investment in mobility, local priorities and non-motorized transportation options.

20-year framework to guide future capital improvements on

Minnesota’s 12,000-mile state highway system.

The following three sets of two-page spreads illustrate each approach. The left side of each spread contains highlights of

Scenario planning allows people to look at a range of investment from Winona to Bemidji. On the right, strengths and drawbacks approaches and understand the implications of each. MnDOT are highlighted, and a table compares this approach to current has outlined four to five levels of potential funding for each funding levels and lists major outcomes of the approach. investment category, called Performance Levels (PL)s. Each PL is unique in its investment level, strategy, performance outcomes, and associated risks. Investment approaches illustrated in this folio combine different PLs from each investment category.

What are major assumptions when choosing an approach?

It is important to keep in mind the following items when thinking about the trade-offs associated with the three approaches:

• Each approach assumes constant revenue (fiscally constrained);

What will the future investment direction look like?

MnDOT has developed Approach A Approach C

• Each approach assumes the same system size; three approaches that

• If you want to spend more money in one category, you must spend less on another; and demonstrate fairly diverse possibilities of how available

Improvement Priorities

S C E N A R I O P L A N N I N G : I N V E S T M E N T A P P R O A C H

Approach A

Focus on maintaining existing infrastructure (roads, bridges, roadside infrastructure) across the entire system; reduce investment in mobility, non-motorized transportation options, and local priorities.

Highlights

Some highlights of what this funding approach could mean along Minnesota’s state highway system in the next 20 years:

Existing roads

Existing bridges

Good ride quality on most state highways, though lower than today on all noninterstates.

Less than 10% of bridges in poor condition. Many bridges repaired at optimal point in life-cycle. Few bridge closures.

System upgrades are applied efficiently and approach alignment with life cycle costs.

Roadside

Infrastructure

Safety Decline in annual fatalities and serious injuries on Minnesota roadways continues, but slows compared to current levels.

Interregional Corridor mobility

No additional capacity on connections between Greater Minnesota regional centers.

Travel times remain similar to today on all but a few roads.

Twin Cities mobility Approximately 1+ spot mobility improvements addressed each year. One new MnPASS

Lane completed.

Bicycle Infrastructure Shoulders are generally in good condition, allowing for a smooth bicycle ride on most state highways.

Accessible Pedestrian

Infrastructure

Few pedestrian safety or access improvements implemented that are not related to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Regional + Community

Improvement Priorities

MnDOT addresses regional concerns and collaboration opportunities primarily through the priority and timing of bridge and pavement projects.

What might Approach A look like 20 years into the future?

You are making the seven-hour drive from Winona to Bemidji to visit an old friend and spend a few days biking on state trails, and your planned route will take you through Rochester, the Twin Cities and Saint Cloud before heading north to complete your journey. Throughout your drive, you notice that over half of the roads that you will travel on have good pavement conditions , regardless of whether they are interstates or state highways. This makes for a smooth, comfortable drive. The route to Bemidji from Winona remains the same in 2032 as you remember it from 2012, but the drive through the Twin Cities takes longer due to persistent congestion from the US 52 / I-94 interchange all the way to St. Cloud. A bit north of Brainerd, you realize that increased traffic volumes makes passing very difficult on the two-lane sections of MN 371 .

Upon reaching your destination, you and your friends immediately grab your bikes so you can get out on the trail and leave your worries behind. Your ride begins pleasantly on a highway with broad and well maintained shoulders , but there is no signage to indicate that you are on a bike trail and you have to pay close attention to where you are to make sure you don’t miss the trail’s departure point on the far side of the road. When you cross the highway, you feel exposed and unsafe . Later, when the trail again meets up and runs on a low-volume state highway, you are disappointed to find that there is a gravel shoulder. As a result, you ride in the highway travel lane where the road is smooth but there is less of a buffer between you and passing traffic.

What might Approach B look like 20 years into the future?

You are making the seven-hour drive from Winona to Bemidji to visit an old friend and spend a few days biking on state trails, and your planned route will take you through Rochester, the Twin Cities and Saint Cloud before heading north to complete your journey. You notice that the pavement conditions on the interstates and major roads that comprise most of your journey are much better than the low volume roads on which you start and end your trip. The route to Bemidji from Winona is much as you remember it in 2012, although congestion has gotten worse between the Twin Cities and St Cloud . A bit north of Brainerd, you notice that traffic volumes are higher on MN 371, but fortunately there are frequent passing lanes and bypass lanes to allow you to navigate slower moving vehicles.

Upon reaching your destination, you and your friend immediately grab your bikes so you can get out on the trail and leave your worries behind. Your ride begins on a highway and you are disappointed to find that there are cracks and depressions in the shoulders forcing you to keep your eyes on the pavement. You are glad when the trail crosses the highway to depart the right-of-way, but the crossing is unprotected, causing you to feel exposed and unsafe . Later, when the trail again meets up and runs on a state highway, you are disappointed to find that there is a gap in the trail where the shoulder narrows dramatically – at some points, you are forced to ride on the highway itself.

What might Approach C look like 20 years into the future?

You are making the seven-hour drive from Winona to Bemidji to visit an old friend and spend a few days biking on state trails, and your planned route will take you through Rochester, the Twin Cities and Saint Cloud before heading north to complete your journey. You immediately notice that, while the interstates are in good condition, other roads are not ; the roughness of TH 52 (a non-interstate route) has patches of poor pavement that makes driving the speed limit uncomfortable and puts significant wear and tear on your car. Although traffic is slow through the heart of the metro, new lanes and some additional interchanges on I-94 and TH 10 allow for smooth traffic flow heading into and leaving St. Cloud.

Upon reaching your destination, you and your friend immediately grab your bikes so you can get out on the trail and leave your worries behind. Your ride begins on a highway, and although the road itself shows signs of deterioration, the shoulder is wide, well maintained, and painted to indicate a bike path.

Abundant signage alerts you to where you are along the trail . You are pleased to find that the trail’s highway crossing is protected by flashing lights and yellow markings that alert traffic to the presence of bicyclists. You also notice that gaps in the trail have been filled, so that no part of your ride is in the highway travel lane.
