The project is cleared to enter the engineering phase of a federal program that could pay for 45% of the project’s cost.

Construction of the METRO D Line, a bus rapid transit line reaching from Brooklyn Center to Bloomington, will begin in early April.

The extension will connect the cities of Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley and Minneapolis to the existing Blue Line light rail route.

Following months of analysis and community engagement, Metro Transit finalized recommendations for the next three bus rapid transit (BRT) alignments that will become the METRO F, G, and H lines.

Shuttered businesses, canceled gatherings, reduced business capacity, working from home, and social distancing have ultimately meant reduced travel across the region.

The Metropolitan Council will introduce fares beginning March 1 for essential health care workers who use the service.

As the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Met Council distributes about $200 million every two years to projects that meet regional transportation needs.

The goal is to improve connections between the new bus rapid transit line and other bus routes.
