Successes under Gov. Tim Walz include enhancing Amtrak service between St. Paul and Chicago and securing funding for new passenger rail between Duluth and the Twin Cities.
The new Twin Cities Metropolitan Region sales tax ensures dedicated funding for transit, walking, and biking infrastructure, particularly supporting a comprehensive bus rapid transit network.
Walz's administration significantly invested in transportation projects, including highways, but the sales tax ensured major funding for active transportation and transit.
Noteworthy changes during Walz's tenure include decriminalizing fare evasion and implementing a climate impact assessment rule for major highway projects.
