What Minnesota Transportation Alliance does

Mission

To coordinate and educate diverse groups to effectively advocate for a safe, effective transportation system that works for all Minnesotans.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. The Alliance hosted it's 53rd Annual Washington D.C. Fly-in for approximately 72 members and non-members who traveled to Washington DC for informational sessions presented by industry professionals on discretionary grant programs, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and legislative updates from the Minnesota Congressional Delegation. Alliance staff coordinated in-person meetings for attendees to meet with their respective Congressional members and staff. Meeting registration was open to anyone interested in attending.

  2. The Alliance hosted it's 131st Annual Meeting in Brooklyn Park, MN with over 90 people attending virtually and in-person. Attendees had an opportunity to network around transportation issues with colleagues from state and local government, MnDOT, Metropolitan Council, labor and business. Leadership conducted an election of board members, and acknowledged outstanding advocacy by industry members. Speakers presented successful transportation campaign strategies, provided insight on the future construction program and the impact of new federal funding.

  3. Transportation Day at the Capitol was held in March with close to 150 people in attendance. Members heard from state agency speakers, legislative leaders in transportation and met one-on-one with legislators and staff.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

How it's funded, over time

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
