Chapter II NORTHSTAR CORRIDOR STATIONS Northstar Corridor stations are located in seven locations from Big Lake to Target Field in Minneapolis. Each Northstar station attracts riders from a geographic area that is larger than the station city. This is demonstrated by a Metropolitan Council license plate survey of vehicles in Northstar park-n-ride lots conducted on January 27, 2010. This survey counted 851 vehicles, of which 778 could be mapped. The number of boardings at each station on January 11, 2010, was obtained from Metro Transit. Northstar station boardings at the five outlying stations totaled 944, which correlates well with 851 parked vehicles allowing for ride sharing and bus transfers. We don't know where these riders disembarked, but the assumption is that the vast majority rode to Target Field. An additional eight riders boarded at Target Field. Origin of Ramsey's park-n- ride users was derived from a survey conducted in 2012, obtained from Metro Transit. The geocoded registration addresses of park-n-ride users for each station are shown on Figure 2-1.
