Navigating Improved Outcomes with Transportation Corridor Rankings

Risk rankings and other measurement tools like level of service are trusted approaches utilized by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to ensure projects lead to systematic improvements over time. This research will explore how to develop a similar, comprehensive system for assigning public health ratings (community context, safety, health inequities, physical activity, chronic disease, air quality, etc.) to Minnesota trunk highway corridors. The project will also identify how to integrate the health ratings into state transportation decision-making efforts, such as project selection criteria, project prioritization, or mitigation guidance.
