MnDOT CAV Statewide Survey

MnDOT CAV Statewide Survey
Self-driving vehicles have and will continue to transform our daily travel. With your help the Minnesota Department of Transportation is planning for this future technology with its connected and automated vehicles (CAV) program (another term for self-driving vehicles). Minnesota is a national leader in this space and our goal is to make sure Minnesotans have a voice in how our state prepares for the future. Help us by taking this short, eight-minute survey. Your responses to this survey will be used to guide conversations and decisions related to connected and automated vehicle technology across the state. Thank you.
