We’re redesigning the MnDOT website, and we’d like your help. Complete a short activity that tests where people expect to find information, like construction updates, road conditions, or business opportunities. You’ll see a simple list of menu options and a few everyday tasks, then click where you’d look for the answer. There are no right or wrong answers. We’re testing the website, not you. The activity takes about 10 minutes, and your responses are anonymous. Thank you for helping make MnDOT’s website work better for everyone who uses it.
