Twin Cities
![Page 4: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background
As the region grows, increased travel demand on our aging infrastructure will continue to create additional transportation challenges– Preservation- pavement and bridges– Safety– Congestion
![Page 5: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Funding constraints• Increased need for pavement and bridge
funding• Adding capacity to fully eliminate congestion
would cost more than $40 billion over next 20 years
• If used alone, state gas tax would need more than $2 per gallon increase for mobility

State Road Construction Program

Innovations in Planning
• Investment Strategies for Mobility–Managed Lanes (MnPASS)–Active Management (ATM) System-wide–Lower Cost/High-Benefit Improvements–Strategic Capacity Expansion
![Page 8: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Regional Transportation Management Center
• Backbone for Managed Lanes system and ATM
• Shared Operations Center– Mn/DOT Traffic Operations– Mn/DOT Maintenance Dispatch– State Patrol Dispatch
• 400 miles of freeway management system
![Page 9: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MnPASS System
![Page 10: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Congestion Pricing in Minnesota
• Congestion pricing brand name
• Opened 11 mile High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane on I-394 in 2005
• Opened 16 mile HOT lane in two phases in 2009-10 on I-35W as part of the Minnesota UPA project
• Future I35E segment planned 2016
![Page 11: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• MnPASS operates only during peak rush hours
– Peaks are defined as 6 to 10 AM and 2 to 7 PM M-F– Off peak and weekend lanes are free and open to all
• Buses, carpools(2+) and motorcycles use for free during peak rush hours
How does MnPASS work?
![Page 12: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Solo drivers can choose to use for a fee
– Fees range from .25¢ to $8.00– Fees average between $1.25 and $1.50
• Lane use is enforced by State Patrol
• Free flow speeds (50-55mph) are maintained through dynamic pricing
How does MnPASS work? cont.

MnPASS Dynamic Pricing • Price based on congestion in
MnPASS lane- real time data from pavement loop detectors
• Number of vehicles in lane• Speed of the vehicles• Rate of change of traffic conditions
• Dynamic pricing provides reliability
• Pricing is set to produce reliability, not to maximize revenue

MnPASS I-394 Lane Design
![Page 15: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I 35W- Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane (PDSL):
Segment 3: 3 miles
• Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane North of 42nd St on NB 35W
• Maintains existing 4 lanes with an added PDSL Lane
• Effectively extends the MnPASS lane to downtown Minneapolis using existing road space
![Page 16: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

I-35W MnPASS: Active Traffic Management
![Page 18: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I-35W: The 21ST Century HighwayIntegrated & Innovative
– I-35W MnPASS System– Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane– Smart Lanes– Bus Rapid Transit and Stations– Integrated Park and Rides– Low cost/high benefit capacity
Results in Sustainable Congestion-Free Choices for Travelers
![Page 19: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Low Cost/High Benefit Example
I-94 at McKnight Road• Congestion and crash
problems in 4-lane segment between two 6-lane segments
• Converted to 6-lane freeway section within existing R/W for under $10M
• 4/1 Benefit/cost based on congestion savings alone
![Page 20: Pat Bursaw, Minnesota DOT International Partnership Meeting Washington D.C. January 26, 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e7d5503460f94b800c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Toward Zero Deaths
• Minnesota’s primary traffic safety initiative
• Partnership between the Departments of Transportation, Public Safety and Health; local traffic safety partners; and the University of Minnesota, led by the University’s Center for Transportation Studies

Summary• Innovation in planning, management of
transportation through MnPASS, active traffic management
• Challenges- changes in attitude• How can we learn from others’ experience?
