Shuttle operations
The shuttle is expected to be in Minnesota until at least April, 2018. Listed below is the current schedule for testing and operating the vehicle.
Winter Weather Testing (December – March): The vehicle will undergo a series of winter weather conditions at MnDOT’s MnROAD facility near Monticello from December 2017 through March 2018. This closed loop facility (not open to other traffic) allows for safely testing the vehicle in snow, ice, cold weather and salt covered road conditions.
Other Operations: MnDOT is currently working with other local partners to operate and test the vehicle at other locations around the state. These tests and operation would occur after winter weather testing has concluded.
