The Minnesota Highway Safety & Research Center is a well maintained, year-round 160-acre facility that has been upgraded on a continuing basis for the past 28 years of program operation. The facility is easily accessible to all types of vehicles, ranging from snowmobiles and ATV's to the largest semi-trailer truck. This accessibility is vital to our program, which services a wide variety of vehicles. A year-round skid pad and specialized vehicles make skid control training available any time of the year. Year-round programming is supported by on-site snow and ice removal equipment. Programs at the Minnesota Highway Safety & Research Center are not cancelled due to weather. A Special emphasis is placed on working with emergency vehicle operators during severe weather conditions, due to the nature of their work. New courses are developed frequently to keep up with the demands of MHSRC clientele.

A new classroom facility has recently been added on-site to enable us to better serve our participants. This new facility offers two large classrooms with the latest in technology to allow us to train in a comfortable, interactive environment.

The classroom-to-driving time ratio on programs is normally 1 to 5. The MHSRC offers track rental options for various organizations and demonstrations such as drug and alcohol impact on driver performance. The Minnesota Highway Safety & Research Center is exempt from the DUI law in the state of Minnesota.
