MN High-Speed Rail Commission
The Minnesota High-Speed Rail Commission is one of the leading authoritative voices on high-speed rail in Minnesota. Comprised of local elected officials, the Commission advocates for the development of Minnesota's first high-speed rail line within the federally designated high-speed rail corridor that connects the Twin Cities to Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago.
The proposed 110 mph high-speed rail line along the upper Mississippi River is identified as a national priority route with the ability to make a single investment that simultaneously benefits high-speed, passenger, commuter, and freight rail.
