Transit service consolidation in the Twin Cities metropolitan area provided, implementation requirements established, task force established, study required, and reports required.

This bill requires local governments in the Twin Cities metropolitan area to stop directly operating public transit services by July 1, 2027, and instead work through agreements with the Metropolitan Council, which will become the exclusive operator for transit in the region. The law creates a task force to oversee the consolidation process and mandates that the council produce detailed performance reports covering service changes, costs, staffing impacts, and operational efficiency. These reports must be submitted to state legislators and include specific data on routes, service hours, on-time performance, and how consolidation affects passengers and facilities. The bill applies to seven counties in the Twin Cities area but excludes the University of Minnesota from its requirements.
