Don't worry, Green Line riders, we'll be allocating funds to improve speed and reliability
Here's our action plan to improve the Green Line:
- Retractable spikes to deter drivers from impeding trains
- Increasing speed limits to 110mph
- Removing the Stadium Village diversion
- Anything but TSP

We're happy to announce to Rep. Jon Koznick (R, MN 57-A) that the Northstar Commuter Rail service will be transitioning to Metro micro.
Service changes take effect February 29th, 2025.
Infrastructure and trains will be left to rot. Tax payer money & fed funding will be sent into the oblivion.

Guys, we CANNOT have the Met Council overtake the Met Council in follower counts!
We're currently sitting at 115 followers compared to the Metropolitan Council's 97 followers.
We have to widen that gap for the sake of the Twin Cities. Our lives depend on it.

We're working on a study for congestion pricing to reduce traffic congestion on our streets and highways. Funds will be used to support and expand Metro Transit and bike lanes.
