About - St. Louis MetroLink Green Line

The Project

St. Louis MetroLink Green Line (formerly the Northside-Southside Jefferson Avenue Alignment) will connect residents to growing job centers in Downtown West and Midtown, educational opportunities, and healthcare services making St. Louis a more equitable and thriving city for all people.

Project Goals

Provide more choices and access to growing and established job centers for those with limited transportation options.
Invest in historically underserved or marginalized neighborhoods.
Expand and strengthen the region's transportation network for future economic growth.

Light Rail

The Green Line will feature modern in-street light-rail technology:

Minimizes impacts to adjacent properties.
Operates in dedicated lane, separated by curb to enhance safety and travel times.
Enhances pedestrian experience with level station boarding.

Community Impact

By utilizing a long-term infrastructure investment, such as light-rail, our region can improve access to economic opportunities for underserved communities. It will help preserve and stabilize St. Louis’ unique neighborhoods and change the futures of thousands of urban residents.

25% of households within walking distance of the alignment do not own a vehicle.
10% of workers near the alignment rely on public transit to get to work.
17% of all current affordable housing units (city-wide) are within walking distance of these new stations.
Several parts of the alignment have the highest rates of transit use in the region.
