About the Plan
The Minnesota Weight Enforcement Investment Plan is a joint effort between MnDOT and the Minnesota State Patrol to develop a statewide 10 year plan of capital, operational and safety investments to ensure the safety of motorists and truckers across the state.
As part of this effort, the state engaged truckers, trucking companies, law enforcement, cities, counties and others to understand truck safety needs statewide.
An engineering assessment was also developed that identified a future funding gap of approximately $96 million over the next ten years. For that reason, state agencies are moving forward with a goal to preserve the existing weigh station facilities and equipment while seeking additional funding to make improvements to address this funding gap, and increase the number of safety inspections across the state.
