This legislative bill proposes to end the operation of the Northstar Commuter Rail, which currently runs between downtown Minneapolis and Big Lake, with several stops along the way. The bill instructs the Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation and the Metropolitan Council to ask the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for permission to stop these train services. It also states that Minnesota would not reimburse the federal government for any funds previously spent on the Northstar line. If the FTA agrees to the discontinuation, the bill requires a detailed plan on how to terminate the service to be drafted and submitted to relevant legislative committees within 90 days of the approval. Additionally, it requires the submission of a report to these committees on the outcome of the request soon after a response is received from the FTA.
