Mn/DOT Dis­ <br />trict 5 has conducted studies which show that the number of accidents per mile increases <br />as the nunber of access powts per mile increases, thus, Mi/DOT's prime concern is t) <br />maintain the T.H. 12 traffic safety in conjunction with the preservation theme.

The Rideshare Program can be of ben­ <br />efit to Orono resiaents in terms of car-pooling and van-pooling and perhaps providing <br />additional park and ride sices will enhance the program. <br />The Department requests that the results of this referral including disposicicn of com­ <br />ments received, be forv-arded to my office for inclusion in our files. <br />Sincerely, <br />Fred P.
