Studies and reports

Orange Line Environmental Impacts & Benefits Report. All comments were compiled and are available to the public. For more information contact Christina Morrison at christina.morrison@metrotransit.org or 612-349-7690.

The Orange Line Connecting Bus Study analyzed bus routes in the study area to maximize connections to the Orange Line and improve transit service in the area. The study developed a Recommended Plan that was approved by the Metropolitan Council for implementation in late 2021. Due to the operator shortage, some of the improvements in the Plan have been deferred until resources are available.
