HISTORICAL NOTE
The Metropolitan Light Rail Transit (LRT) Joint Powers Board was created in 1991 to "direct and control the design and construction of Light Rail Transit (LRT) in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, to seek necessary legislation and funding, and to coordinate the members in related policy development." (Bylaws, January 8, 1992). Members included representatives from the Regional Railroad Authorities of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington Counties; the Department of Transportation; Metropolitan Transit Commission; Metropolitan Council; and the Regional Transit Board. Its name was changed in 2002 to the Metro Transitways Development Board. Duties of the MTDB were taken over by the Counties Transit Improvement Board.
The Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB) was established by state statute in March 2008, and originally included Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties, and the Metropolitan Council. Carver and Scott counties later withdrew. Its purpose was to collect sales tax in order to to invest in and advance transit projects by awarding annual capital and operating grants. It was dissolved in September 2017.
