AECOM's work on the Green Line Light Rail helped to better connect thousands of workers to their jobs and attract thousands of new residents to the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis in Minnesota, United States. Experiencing rapid cultural and economic growth, the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul — the two largest cities in Minnesota, United States — needed a public transportation solution to connect the two communities. Serving as prime consultant on all project phases, AECOM [completed](http://www.aecom.com/News/What+We+Do/Transportation/_featuredStories/Connecting+the+Twin+Cities+with+Green) the $957-million, 11-mile-long Green Line Light Rail system on time and within budget. According to Susan Haigh, chair of the Metropolitan Council, the regional policy-making body, planning agency, and provider of essential services for the Twin Cities metropolitan region: “This is a new beginning for our region as this Green Line forever links our two great cities, better connects thousands of workers to their jobs, and attracts thousands of new residents who want to live along this line." **[Find out](http://www.aecom.com/Where+We+Are/Americas/Transportation/_projectsList/Green+Line+Light+Rail) how AECOM's transportation solutions helped to improve the two largest cities in Minnesota.** **About AECOM** Ranked as the #1 engineering design firm by revenue in Engineering News-Record magazine’s annual industry rankings, AECOM is a premier, fully integrated infrastructure and support services firm, with a broad range of markets, including transportation, facilities, environmental, energy, water and government.
