SNAPSHOT | Investing in Railroad Safety 2015 Budget for a Better Minnesota

If passed, Governor Dayton’s transportation plan would provide local governments with the

resources they need to respond to local infrastructure needs caused by increased railway traffic. By

modernizing property taxes paid by railroads, the proposal would provide $45 million every year for

cities, counties, and townships to fund their own local priority rail infrastructure improvements.
