Description: MnDOT created area transportation partnerships (ATPs) to emphasize greater public involvement in the preparation of transportation plans and programs. There are eight ATPs in Minnesota (one for each MnDOT District area). The ATP Districts are also used to describe the locations and responsible district for construction projects identified in various MnDOT Annual Reports (ex. CHIP/STIP, Major Highway Projects Report). http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/program/mpordcatp.html
