Description of Project:

MnDOT’s Office of Sustainability and Public Health (OSPH) is looking for a consultant to update and deliver Complete

Streets 101 technical trainings in 2026 and 2027. The Complete Streets 101 training is for agency staff and partners to

support implementation of the updated MnDOT Complete Streets policy. The proposed approach is to hold 2-3 2-day

training opportunities. Trainings will be the same except for tailoring of a location-specific case study. The curriculum and

materials for this training will build upon a training delivered in spring and summer 2025 to agency staff. This includes

use of an interactive Complete Streets design kit to support an interactive cross-section classroom activity. Updates to

the training curriculum and materials will include new content, including but not limited to municipal and county policies

and agency and state priorities such as greenhouse gas reduction, traveler choice, climate resilience, creative use of our

right of way and improving public health.

OSPH is also looking for the consultant to develop and pilot a Complete Streets “In My Role” technical training for agency

maintenance staff. The training will tailor the Complete Streets content to support maintenance staff in understanding

the policy and its implication for their work. The Successful Responder will work with MnDOT Project Manager and

agency staff to develop training curriculum and materials. The training could be offered virtually or in-person.

Project Tasks:

finalized during this task.
