Minnesota SF2887 requires analysis and application for passenger rail service to Fargo and Kansas City, with funding.

Minnesota SF2887 mandates the commissioner of transportation to apply for federal funding to develop two intercity passenger rail corridors. One extends from St. Paul to Fargo, North Dakota, and the other from St. Paul to Kansas City, Missouri, with stops in Iowa. The bill includes $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 for planning, development, and grants to political subdivisions for service development. This funding is a onetime appropriation available until June 30, 2028, and is only for the state's share of project costs.
