Public Transportation

Imagine a connected network of transitways — commuter rail lines, light rail transit routes and busways — reaching out across the Twin Cities metropolitan region.

For more than a quarter century Hennepin County has been working to make this vision a reality, creating a model of efficient public transportation.
