This legislative bill focuses on transportation issues related to the Minneapolis-Duluth corridor in Minnesota. It has two main parts:

1. Intercity Bus Study: Money is allocated to study the feasibility of improving bus services between Minneapolis-St. Paul and Duluth. The study will examine existing demand, evaluate potential service improvements, estimate costs and ridership, identify possible revenue sources, as well as consider any barriers or risks. The results of this study are to be reported to relevant legislative committees by February 1, 2026.

2. Cancellation of Appropriation for Northern Lights Express: The bill also proposes to cancel any unspent funds previously allocated for the Northern Lights Express, a planned passenger rail project between Minneapolis and Duluth. The uncommitted funds, estimated to be around $194.4 million, will be returned to the general fund.

In summary, the bill is reallocating funds from an uncompleted rail project and directing attention and resources to assess and potentially enhance bus services between two major urban centers in Minnesota.
