Abstract:The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of connecting Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Rochester International Airport with a high-speed rail line to move passengers and cargo. The primary goal of this study is to determine such a rail link can provide a viable transportation option for the Twin Cities and Rochester metropolitan areas. Such a high speed rail link would facilitate both the development of Rochester International Airport as a potential reliever airport for the Twin Cities region and provide (as outlined in the Tri-State Study) the first leg of the proposed Twin Cities-Rochester/LaCrosse connection as was recommended in the second phase of the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative (MWRRI) development program. This connection will make Rochester integral to the 3,000-mile MWRRI system and provide access to Rochester, not just from Twin Cities, but also from all the cities and towns of the nine-state MWRRI region.
