Page 43, after line 10, insert:
"Sec. 52.
[NORTHSTAR COMMUTER RAIL LINE; REQUEST FOR WAIVER.]
The commissioner of transportation shall take all necessary
steps to seek a waiver, exemption, or other agreement from the Federal Transit
Administration that would allow federal section 5309 funds otherwise allocated
by that agency for the Northstar commuter rail line to instead be used for
development and construction of express bus service in the marked Trunk Highway
No. 10 corridor without requirement for a new environmental impact statement or
alternatives analysis.
Sec. 53.
[NORTHSTAR CORRIDOR; RESTRICTION.]
Subdivision 1.
[FINDING.] The legislature finds that because criteria used by the
Federal Transit Administration in evaluating costs and benefits under the
federal section 5309 program do not provide for a sufficient evaluation of the
effects of different modes in a particular corridor on traffic congestion in
that and other corridors, it is necessary to require that a study be performed
on transitway alternatives in the Trunk Highway No. 10 corridor in order to
make an informed choice among modes.
Subd. 2. [STUDY;
REPORT.] Before expending any further state funds on planning, design,
engineering, or construction on the Northstar commuter rail line, the
commissioner of transportation shall conduct a study of the total costs of
commuter rail and express bus service in the Trunk Highway No. 10 corridor and
the relative effectiveness of each mode in alleviating highway congestion in
the corridor and other freeway and expressway corridors that parallel that
corridor. Before preparing and
submitting the final version of the report the commissioner must hold at least
two public hearings within reasonable proximity to the Trunk Highway No. 10
corridor. The commissioner shall
complete the study and report on its results to the legislative committees
having jurisdiction over transportation policy and finance by January 15, 2006.
Subd. 3.
[RESTRICTION.] The commissioner shall not expend any state funds on
commuter rail or express bus service within the Trunk Highway No. 10 corridor
unless:
(1) the study conducted under this section has shown that
one or both modes included in the study have benefits that exceed costs in
alleviating congestion in the Trunk Highway No. 10 corridor and other freeway
and expressway corridors that parallel that corridor that exceed its costs; and
(2) the mode selected for the corridor has the higher ratio
of such benefits to total costs."

Olson moved to amend H. F. No. 3, the second engrossment, as
follows:
Page
19, after line 8, insert:
"To
the extent permitted by federal law, as part of the final environmental impact
statement for the central corridor project the council, in consultation with
the commissioner of transportation and representatives of Ramsey and Hennepin
Counties and Minneapolis and St. Paul, must evaluate the feasibility of the
personal rapid transit option in the corridor. The evaluation must include a
comparison of personal rapid transit with other options studied for the
corridor in regard to:
(1)
congestion and access problems caused by construction;
(2)
congestion and access once construction is completed and service is being
provided;
(3)
average travel speeds for transit and other traffic;
(4)
safety for vehicles, passengers, pedestrians, and transit users;
(5)
cost-effectiveness for construction;
(6)
cost-effectiveness for operations, including cost per daily rider, fare box
recovery, and non-user subsidies;
(7)
environmental impact including energy efficiency and pollution;
(8)
service levels and reliability; and
(9)
ability to be implemented within a reasonable period of time, including whether
a dual-track public-private design and engineering process is feasible. For purposes of this clause a
"dual-track public-private design and engineering process" is a
process under which design and engineering for bus and light rail alternatives
for the corridor are performed by public agencies and design and engineering
for personal rapid transit is performed without public funds by one or more
private entities."
