I-94 Rail Coalition

Welcome to the I-94 Rail Coalition! We are a grassroots organization supporting a heavy rail corridor for MnDOT's
Rethinking I-94 project.

Minnesota is ushering in a new era of rail transportation with regional and intercity routes being proposed, planned, and funded every year. As our network continues to grow, anchored to our two downtowns, there still remains one glaring issue: Minneapolis Target Field and St. Paul Union Depot have no direct passenger rail connection, and travel between the two stations can take as much as an hour by light rail. Rethinking I-94 offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bridge the gap, properly link the two downtowns, and future-proof the expanding Twin Cities rail system.

The I-94 Rail Coalition aims to educate the public about the need for a dedicated passenger rail corridor and urge MnDOT to include a rail option in its list of Rethinking I-94 transportation alternatives.

Join our Discord server to stay up-to-date on the latest information pertaining to Rethinking I-94. We also run a Twitter account with all project information, meeting details, community events, and our retired S-Bahn Sunday threads, where you can learn about what makes a world-class regional rail network. Most importantly - show up to Rethinking I-94 community events and spread the word!
