Transportation Action Plan
The Minneapolis Transportation Action Plan (TAP) is a ten-year action plan to guide future planning, design, and implementation of transportation projects. Stop by to learn about TAP goals and give feedback on TAP metrics.
Vision Zero
The Vision Zero movement aims to eliminate deaths and life-altering injuries on our streets. To reach this ambitious goal, we are working with people from across our community to develop a Minneapolis Vision Zero Action Plan, which will outline our path moving forward.
