2. Communication and engagement goals
MnDOT’s commitment to innovation
GOAL: Give the public a look at work behind the scenes
This year, we focused on communicating MnDOT’s commitment to innovation – specifically how it’s helped us be more efficient, safe and effective. Our goals were to inform the public of all the work we do behind the scenes to make sure the work they can see (i.e. construction) is safe and efficient.
