ICM Pioneer Sites–Minneapolis, Minnesota

ICM is critical in Minneapolis because of its heavily traveled commuter corridor and limited space to improve physical capacity. Minneapolis is fortunate to have close relationships between representatives from the county and city transit agencies and the State highway patrol. These relationships are are facilitating the critical institutional cooperation that is critical to successful integrated corridor management. Metro Transit is planning several enhancements that support ICM. An Interstate 394 transit study is underway, and HOT lanes are operational. The Minneapolis ICM team is looking at combining managed lane and transit signal priority strategies to increase traffic flow along the corridor and is putting a strategic emphasis on the reliability of the equipment in the field to improve the quality and consistency of the information being sent to decision-makers in traffic management centers.

More on Minneapolis, Minnesota's ICM Corridor:

The Minneapolis, Minnesota application proposed I-394 from the Minneapolis central business district to the Hennepin County line with TH 55 to the north and TH7 to the south as their corridor. The Minnesota Department of Transportation was the lead agency, accompanied by Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis, and Minneapolis Metro Transit. In addition to the expected freeway and arterial capabilities, the corridor includes HOV, tolling, value pricing, express bus, and BRT.
