About Us

Picture
In May 1997, 30 counties, cities, townships and regional rail authorities created the joint powers board known as the Northstar Corridor Development Authority (NCDA) to address the increased need for additional transportation solutions between St. Cloud and Minneapolis. Over the next decade, the NCDA overcame many hurdles to make the Northstar Commuter Rail Project a reality. When Northstar service begins late this year, it will be part of Metro Transit’s regional service network, add much needed transportation capacity to the region and create an easy and safe way for people to travel.
