WisDOT and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are seeking public input on the proposed Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago passenger rail project to improve intercity rail service and add a second daily round trip.
The addition of an extra trip per day between the Twin Cities and Chicago would allow for more passengers and increase the flexibility of the trip, making it easier to make connections to other transportation on the route.
The partners on this project ?include:
- Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois Departments of Transportation
- Amtrak
- ?Federal Railroad Administration
- La Crosse Area Planning Committee
- Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority
The project would spend $53 million dollars to do infrastructure improvements to the existing Empire Builder route. More information on the project is available on the DOT website at https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/projects/multimodal/tcmc.aspx
