MnDOT Geometric Design

REGISTRATION OPENS JULY 1, 2022

The Geometric Design Training Video Series was originally developed in the late 1990’s, through a multi-state pooled fund process with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) serving as the lead agency. Since the contents presented in the original training series was due for an update, MnDOT coordinated a new multi-state partnership agreement to recreate and modernize the training series to reflect current design standards, best practices, and technology in 2022.

The Updated Geometric Design Training Series is made up of 29 online courses, consisting of video segments, interactive illustrations, examples, and exercises. This training series is intended to serve as a resource on the fundamentals of roadway design for design technicians and entry level engineers for the state and local agencies as well as design practitioners that are in need of training resources.
