Minnesota is a great state for drivers. Whether it’s heading up north to the cabin for a weekend or taking in the views across the Mississippi along Highway 61 - driving in the North Star State is generally wonderful. You might have to deal with a “bit” of construction and then there’s that other season after fall that ends somewhere around April (on a good year). So, although the Twin Cities tends to be public transportation friendly, many Minnesotans still opt to travel by car. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics states, “87 percent of daily trips take place in personal vehicles.”
