The Commuter Rail System Plan, published in February of 2000, was developed as a prescriptive tool to ensure that commuter rail will be accomplished in a cooperative and consistent manner that provides coordination among stakeholders, to the maximum extent possible. Some of the corridor specific information in this plan is no longer accurate: the Northstar Corridor Rail terminus will be in Big Lake, not Elk River as stated; and it does not make note that legislation prohibits further work on the Dan Patch Corridor. The Commuter Rail System Plan has been superceded by the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Transportation Policy Plan.
