Report: Gateway Corridor to Request $5 Million in State Funds

The pot could soon get sweetened for rapid public transit from Hudson to St. Paul and Minneapolis and points in between. 

Looking to secure funds for engineering work, the Gateway Corridor Commission plans to request $5 million in bonding from the Minnesota Legislature next year, according to the Star Tribune. 

The Gateway Corridor transit project would run along Interstate 94 from the St. Croix River bridge to St. Paul. All‐day transit service would stop at 11 stations and include connections to Minneapolis and Hudson.

Officials are leaning toward bus rapid transit along the corridor. By 2030, the Gateway Corridor is expected to expand by 90,000 people (nearly a third more residents) and 30,000 jobs.

A transit study is underway.
