<br />SERVICES
<br />The Metropolitan Council's Transportation
<br />Division operates, administers and coordinates
<br />public transit services in the Twin Cities
<br />metropolitan area. Two units of the Council's
<br />Transportation Division - Metro Transit and
<br />Metropolitan Transportation Services
<br />(MTS) - carry out the transit programs.
<br />The Council also serves as the federally
<br />designated Metropolitan Planning Organization
<br />and manages the allocation of federal
<br />transportation funds. In this role, the
<br />Transportation Division provides regional
<br />transportation planning for the aviation,
<br />highway, transit, and bike/pedestrian systems.
<br />Every four years the Council develops and
<br />updates the 20 -year regional transportation
<br />policy plan and annually produces the federally
<br />required four-year Transportation Improvement
<br />Program (TIP) for the metropolitan area.
<br />Metro Transit is the largest direct operator of
<br />regular -route transit service in the Twin Cities
<br />region, including regular -route bus, light rail and
<br />commuter rail. It accounts for about 80% of the
<br />total operating expenses for the Council's
<br />Transportation Division.
<br />Metro Transit directly operates a network of 132
<br />regular routes served by a fleet of 911 buses.
<br />Metro Transit operates the METRO Blue Line
<br />and Northstar Commuter Rail, and began
<br />operation of the METRO Green Line in June
<br />2014. Metro Transit will operate the Green Line
<br />Extension (Southwest light rail) and Blue Line
<br />Extension (Bottineau Boulevard) when those
<br />lines are completed.
<br />Metropolitan Transportation Services is
<br />responsible for regional transportation planning
<br />and provides and coordinates transit services
<br />within the region through contracts with
<br />private providers. Contracted services
<br />account for about 20% of total operating
<br />expenses of the Transportation Division.
