Regional Transportation Management Center Shared Operations Center – Mn/DOT Traffic Operations – Mn/DOT Maintenance Dispatch – State Patrol Dispatch 400 miles of freeway management system Backbone for Managed Lanes system

Dynamic Pricing Overview Adjust the toll rate dynamically to encourage or discourage users Maintain free flowing traffic in MnPASS lane (speeds greater than 50 MPH) at all times Rates determined based on: – Number of vehicles in lane – Speed of the vehicles – Rate of change of traffic conditions

Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane (PDSL): Segment 3: 3 miles Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane North of 42 nd St on NB 35W Maintains existing 4 lanes with an added PDSL Lane Effectively extends the MnPASS lane to downtown Minneapolis using existing road space

Innovative Use of Technology and Infrastructure Managed Lanes And Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane (PDSL)
