  • MnDOT's Commitment to Innovation in the New Normal
    Abstract: In late 2009, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) established the Destination Innovation program to transform MnDOT’s culture, process, technology, and way of thinking to invite innovation and rapid adoption of new practices. Projects and initiatives are selected that support one or more of MnDOT’s Strategic Directions – safety, mobility, innovation, leadership and transparency, in addition to meeting other criteria:•Deliver innovative technologies, processes, financing, practices and performance measures that illustrate significant improvements in safety, quality and cost efficiency.•Lead to rapid change in MnDOT’s transportation program to accelerate construction of high-quality, cost effective, enduring projects.•Ensure incorporation of a wide variety of innovations and project types.•Ensure agency-wide distribution of Destination Innovation funding. The goal is to have funding for at least one project per district.•Be marketable, promotes our transportation program and adds value for MnDOT’s customers.MnDOT leadership has consistently emphasized support for innovation and rapid implementation of ideas that reduce fatalities, have a high reward or return on investment, improve mobility for people and goods, and create transparency with the public we serve. The Destination Innovation program supports these ideas and provides the link between our strategic goals and implementation in the New Normal, allowing MnDOT strive for improvement and efficiency, even in light of more constrained budgets and higher stakeholder expectations.
