Biographical History

The Highway Study Commission was established by the Minnesota Legislature in 1953 [Laws 1953 c692] with the charge of making a comprehensive study of the state's highway system, its needs, and funding policy. The 28 person commission, chaired by Senator A. O. Sletvold, Detroit Lakes, was composed of seven Senators, seven Representatives, and 14 citizens (seven appointed by each legislative body). The Automotive Safety Foundation, Washington, D.C., was hired to conduct an engineering needs study; the Public Administration Service, Chicago, to conduct a fiscal needs study.

After preliminary work and several public hearings, the Commission determined the need for more flexibility in the constitutional provisions which dedicated the state's registration fees and fuel taxes to the state trunk highways and counties. Changes to that policy and permission for the Legislature to make other limited adjustments are detailed in the Commission's final report. The Commission met for the last time on December 22, 1954.
