Welcome to the Duluth-Superior Metropolitan Interstate Council
Guiding the Future of Transportation for the Twin Ports Area

The Duluth-Superior Metropolitan Interstate Council (MIC) is the designated bi-state Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Duluth-Superior metropolitan planning area. MPOs such as the MIC are a forum for discussion and resolution of inter-jurisdicitional transportation issues.

What is the Long Range Transportation Plan 2035?
The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) provides direction for how the Duluth-Superior metropolitan area can arrive at a transportation future desired by its communities. With a 20 year outlook, the plan examines our area's transportation system against its current and future mobility needs, and establishes a set of strategies designed to meet those needs and achieve the transportation objectives of our area's communities. For more information, see the project summary and previous LRTP.
