DoT giving Minneapolis $474 million for light rail
Posted by Linda H on 8:00:00 AM
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., will get $474 million from the federal government for a proposed light-rail system connecting the two cities, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Wednesday. The announcement comes despite Congress's decision to eliminate funding for other types of trains in the recently passed budget deal.
The deal to avert a government shutdown eliminated $1.5 billion in funding for high-speed rail this year and $400 million that was in last year's budget. But the money for the Twin Cities light rail will come from the Federal Transit Administration.
FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff agreed, saying in a statement: "Every time Minnesotans take light rail instead of driving, they will be keeping gas money in their own pockets.
"This project truly embodies the president's vision for winning the future through infrastructure investment," Rogoff said.
LaHood said the project would create 3,400 jobs and foster development on its 18 stations.

"The 11-mile Central Corridor will link the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, connecting the State Capitol with the University of Minnesota and the downtown Minneapolis business district along one of the region's most heavily traveled routes," he wrote on his "Fast Lane" blog. "It will offer Twin Cities commuters a convenient, affordable option for getting to work without pumping money into their gas tanks or tailpipe emissions into the air."
