Collaborative and subcommittees

Results and Transparency Committee

The Results and Transparency Committee is a subcommittee of the Collaborative that:

  • Reviews projects, workforce goals, and progress in hiring women and people of color on highway construction projects
  • Provides consultation and support to contractors and MnDOT as needed when workforce goals are not being met

Participants include stakeholders from different industry groups including:

  • Community representatives
  • Contractors
  • Employment and business advocates
  • MnDOT – Civil Rights and other divisions
  • Government agencies
  • Training program representatives
  • Tribal employment rights officers and representatives
  • Unions
  • Other industry partners

Meetings are open to the public. We welcome your participation to improve opportunities for Black and Indigenous people, people of color, and women in the highway construction industry.

Key projects are identified based on:

  • Greatest potential for employment
  • Areas with significant people of color and female workforces
  • High dollar value
  • High profile projects
  • Other factors

MnDOT collects contractors’ payroll information. On a monthly basis, MnDOT compiles and analyzes the payroll data into a report. The report is reviewed by the committee during the monthly meetings.
