    The proposed plans are absolutely fantastic! They’re long term & part of their 2050 vision. The full plan can be found here: https://www.wisdotplans.gov/plan/wrp2050

    Most of the plan essentially expands on the existing Hiawatha service to Milwaukee in a way that it branches out like a tree. Proposed expansions in the 2050 vision are:

    -Existing Hiawatha Corridor (Milwaukee-Chicago corridor): expand from seven to 10 daily roundtrips

    • New Madison Hiawatha Service (Madison – Milwaukee - Chicago corridor); extend four daily Hiawatha trips to Madison

    • New Green Bay Hiawatha Service (Green Bay – Milwaukee - Chicago corridor); extend three daily Hiawatha trips to Green Bay

    • TCMC (Chicago – Milwaukee - Twin Cities corridor); add three Hiawatha daily round trips to the Twin Cities

    • Northern Lights Express (Duluth/Superior – Twin Cities corridor): four round trips between Duluth/Superior – Minneapolis

    • Rockford-Chicago corridor: two round trips between Rockford – Chicago–
