Vehicle miles traveled data updated to 2023 (MnDOT) and population datasets updated to 2023 (Met Council and Census). See Section 14.2.
Crashes and fatalities updated to 2022. See Section 4.4.
Updated UMN Accessibility Observatory datasets
In the first release, we averaged the number of jobs available within 30 minutes for each mode from block groups to regions.
Instead of calculating averages ourselves, we asked the UMN for a custom analysis, in which they used averages weighted by population to get the number of jobs available within given duration thresholds for each mode.
Additionally, all data were updated to LEHD year 2019, as released in 2023.
Added county level total registrations, percent of vehicles on road, and vehicles per 1,000 people.
Updated data source to MPCA, as they provide data directly to Atlas Policy EvaluateMN dashboard.
Updated non-stop flight destination data to March 2025. See Figure 10.6.
Update aviation tables to 2023 where data available. See Section 10.2.
Council Districts and Council Member names updated. See Table 1.
Updated criteria pollutant data and air quality data. See Chapter 14.
Various section, plot, and table titles updated to unified format.
Plots showing 2018 GHG inventory removed. Readers are instead directed to more information on our website. See Section 14.5.
May 2023 edition errata
Incorrect percent change over time in electric vehicle registration plots. See Section 14.3.
Incorrect time period reported for non-stop destinations in Figure 10.6. The data sourced from OpenFlights.org was last updated in June 2014. We have since changed data sources to Directflights.com.
In Table 10.7, Charlotte and Denver were mislabeled.
Number of bad air quality days was incorrectly calculated by taking the mean number of bad air quality days for each air quality region in the Twin Cities area (North Metro, South Metro, and MPLS/St. Paul) for each pollutant. This was corrected to now show the number of unique dates in which any monitoring site in any air quality region in the Twin Cities had an AQI above 100 for each pollutant. This correction changed the values shown in the plot, but overall trends are consistent. See Figure 14.2.
