Transportation Policy Plan

Newly-adopted Transportation Policy Plan
addresses transit growth through 2030

The Metropolitan Council has adopted a long-range plan to help slow the growth in traffic congestion and improve mobility in the region. The plan calls for construction of five new transitways. The plan proposes:

  • A commuter rail line in the Northstar corridor between Minneapolis and Big Lake.
  • Bus rapid transit on I-35W between Lakeville and downtown Minneapolis.
  • Bus rapid transit on County Road 81 from Minneapolis to Osseo, Dayton and Rogers.
  • Bus rapid transit on Cedar Avenue from Lakeville to the Mall of America.
  • Light rail or bus rapid transit in the Central corridor on University Avenue between downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis.
