Communities where trips originate versus those trips are destined to are presented separately. The results show that the destination of "External North" - which is where US 169 passes from Sherburne County to Mille Lacs County has a much higher share of trips compared to typical weekday afternoons.

These are provided for the 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentile of all trips using each crossing. The results show that TH 101 has the longest trip lengths, US 169 has the shortest trip lengths, and TH 610 is in between. The distribution of travel times are also provided, and these follow the same trend as the trip distances.
