The Rochester-Twin Cities Passenger Rail Corridor (Zip Rail) is an approximately 100-mile corridor between Rochester and the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area that includes Dakota, Dodge, Goodhue, Hennepin, Olmsted, Ramsey and Rice counties. The purpose of the Zip Rail project is to provide a convenient, cost-effective, reliable and safe passenger rail transportation alternative that will meet forecasted population and economic growth, meet mobility demands in the corridor, and connect intercity economic centers.
