Commuters to downtown Minneapolis from the south (I-35W) now join those from the west (I-394) in being able to buy the superior service of toll-managed lanes for a continuous commute. Carpoolers and buses get free rides in the free-flowing lanes.

Minnesota is moving cautiously toward more road pricing following good results from price-managed lanes on I-394 and I-35W, radials to the west and south of Minneapolis. The lanes generically called HOT lanes provide free travel for carpools and transit vehicles and admit others for a toll that varies according to available surplus capacity.

A survey of toll express lanes users on I-394 showing a high level of satisfaction has been released by Minnesota DOT. 91% of those enrolled in the  'MnPASS' branded program expressed satisfaction.
