Low Density, High Impact: Research Topics for Rural Mobility
WEBINAR: June 18, 2026, 8:00AM - 9:15AM PT
Join Minnesota DOT's Office of Research & Innovation and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB) for their June 2026 Research Radar: Low Density, High Impact: Research Topics for Rural Mobility.
Just like radar scans the horizon to detect what’s ahead, the monthly Research Radar web series explores the latest findings in transportation research. Each month, Minnesota DOT and LRRB highlight research projects focused on a common theme.
Featured Projects:
- Phase 2: Understanding Pedestrian Travel Behavior & Safety in Rural Settings
- Gravel Road and Shoulder Maintenance
- Research Synthesis: Design & Impacts of Rural Roundabouts
Attend to gain insights from a rural perspective and learn more about the kind of research that connects communities and provides pragmatic mobility solutions for rural localities.
