"The Council’s current Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) is nearly silent on streetcars as a mode of transit in the region, except for a reference to Council-local government collaboration to determine when and where a streetcar project might be appropriate. The TPP also states that projects that show a positive, significant, and cost-effective transportation benefit might be funded with local, regional and federal transportation funds but a project pursued primarily for development outcomes should be funded locally and should not compete with other priorities for federal and state transportation funds. With numerous transit corridors identified for future investment, the demand for transit capital and operating funding greatly exceeds current funding." blogs.twincities/cityhallscoop/2013/07/15/met-council-to-rybak-and-coleman-talk-to-us-dont-compete-with-us-on-streetcar-funding-and-do-it-now/
