Central Corridor Transit Service Study

The Central Corridor light-rail project is under construction, and will open in 2014. The line (the new Green Line) will cover 11 miles, serve 18 stations and connect downtown Minneapolis – and the existing Hiawatha (Blue) Line – with the University of Minnesota, Midway commercial district, State Capitol complex, downtown St. Paul and neighborhoods in between. 

In anticipation of the opening, Metro Transit developed a bus service plan to maximize connections with the new rail line. The Concept Plan was the subject of public outreach during summer 2012. 

Affected bus routes in the study area include:
2, 3, 6, 8, 16, 21, 50, 53, 62, 63, 65, 67, 68, 71, 84, 87, 94, 134, 144, 262, 353, 355, 365, 375 and 452

NEW Recommended Plan Updated November 2012
The recommended plan includes modifications made to the Concept Plan following public input on routes 3, 16, 63, 68/71, 83, 87, 94, 134 and to Huron Station service.
