Arterial BRT Plan Corridors
Corridors advancing for additional consideration
The Plan Update started with 17 candidate corridors. Through an initial screening, candidates were narrowed down to the 10 most promising arterial BRT corridors for additional consideration.
Please visit the interactive map to review the corridors under consideration.
Later in 2025, these corridors will narrow down to three – the J, K, and L lines – through technical evaluation, public feedback, and coordination with cities, counties, and MnDOT.
West 7th Street Corridor
Metro Transit has been working with project partners on a new multimodal concept in the West 7th Street Corridor, including a more substantial investment in bus rapid transit.
The City of St. Paul announced in October 2025 that concept is no longer moving forward, as project partners were unable to reach agreement on a funding plan for this coordinated concept. You can learn more about this work at the project website.
As an outcome of this work, Metro Transit will bring this corridor into the Arterial BRT Plan Update, where it will be evaluated along with these 10 corridors. A total of 11 corridors are now being considered in the technical evaluation step.
These corridors were chosen from:
- Corridors identified as good candidates for arterial BRT from past BRT planning efforts
- Existing high frequency, high ridership local routes
- Future high frequency local routes identified in Network Now, Metro Transit’s vision for transit service through 2027
- Corridors identified by agency partners for consideration
