Twin Cities' Metro Transit to maintain service if state government shuts down
advertisement
Metro Transit’s Hiawatha light rail, Northstar commuter rail and bus services will continue to operate at current levels if a Minnesota government shutdown begins July 1, Metro Transit officials said in a prepared statement.
“While we cannot continue service indefinitely without state funding, we can — using customer fares and reserve funds — operate for a period of time,” they said.
The Metropolitan Council, which oversees Metro Transit, also will continue to operate Metro Mobility, Transit Link dial-a-ride service and other contracted transit services, officials said.
