Minnesota’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

The State of Minnesota is committed to diversity and inclusion in its public procurement process. The goal is to

ensure that those providing goods and services to the state are representative of Minnesota’s communities and

include businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans and those with substantial physical disabilities. Creating

broader opportunities for historically under-represented groups provides for additional options and greater

competition in the marketplace, creates stronger relationships and engagement within the state’s communities and

fosters economic development and equality.

To further this commitment, the Minnesota Department of Administration operates a program for Minnesota-

based small businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans and those with substantial physical disabilities. For

additional information on this program, or to determine eligibility, please call 651-296-2600 or go to

PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Project Overview

MnDOT requests letters of interest for a contractor to assist with the development of the first statewide Speed

Management Action Plan. This plan is intended to characterize Minnesota’s speeding-related safety problems and speed

management issues, identify appropriate engineering, enforcement, and educational countermeasures and strategies, and

outline actions the State and other partners can take to implement strategies to reduce speeding and speeding-related

fatal and serious injury crashes. This Plan will facilitate coordination and cooperation among various agency stakeholders

including road planners, designers and managers, enforcement officials, public health practitioners, and policy-makers to

implement a sustainable speed management program, and to target the most cost-effective and feasible countermeasures

where they will have the greatest safety benefits.

Project Goal

The goal of this project is to develop the Speed Management Action Plan, which will serve as a guidance plan for setting

priorities and actions to further reduce speed related fatalities and serious injuries due to motor vehicle crashes in

Minnesota. The selected contractor will work closely with a Project Team established by the MnDOT Office of Traffic

Engineering (OTE), Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Minnesota State Patrol, the Advisory

Council on Traffic Safety (ACTS), and other stakeholders to analyze crash data and trends, conduct outreach and

consultation with traffic safety stakeholders, facilitate discussions to determine decisions or resolutions, set targets and

performance measures, create action-oriented strategies for moving toward zero deaths in Minnesota, and create the

Minnesota Speed Management Action Plan (SMAP).

The project will be divided in the following main tasks, listed in greater detail below.

1. Project Management

2. Crash analysis and societal impacts due to speed related crashes

3. Analysis of adjudicated speeding ticketing and fines on a statewide and regional basis

4. Review and incorporate the developed target speed and speed management literature review and transportation

research synthesis.

5. Development of the Speed Management Guide that will provide designers and project managers guidelines and

best practices for speed management infrastructure strategies based on roadway type and land use context.

6. Developing tools for winter weather and other speed messaging, and targeting public engagement for the effective

discussion on speed management during the project development process.

7. Develop materials for promoting, messaging, and communicating the effectiveness of speed safety cameras.

8. Advise, comment, and inform the various efforts regarding speed management, target speed, and other speed

related efforts internal to MnDOT, ensuring consistent communication during the development of the Facility

Design Guide Target Speed guidance, the Task 4 research synthesis, and the speed management guide in Task

5.

9. Development of pilot trainings for newly developed tools (such as the Road Safety Information Center) for law

enforcement to develop enforcement related speed management action plans in their region.

10. Development of the final plan based on the tasks listed here, highlighting findings, actions, and recommendations.

The SMAP should align with other current Statewide Transportation Plans and Policy Directives such as the Statewide

Multimodal Transportation Plan (SMTP), Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), Statewide Pedestrian System Plan, State

Highway Investment Plan, and other policy and practice initiatives within Minnesota.
