The St. Louis Commuter Rail is a series of proposed commuter rail lines being developed by Metro's Moving Transit Forward Plan.

Early proposal

According to Metro, there are only about 80 miles of corridors being considered. Commuter rail lines were in Metro's plans in 1994 when voters approved a one-fourth cent transit sales tax, but officials dropped them later because the cost was not worth the benefit and the fare would be expensive.{{fact|date=December 2018}}

Latest proposal

The 2010 Moving Transit Forward long-range plan proposes corridors running from the Gateway Multimodal Transportation Center near downtown St. Louis. The options (which are dependent on the successful completion of planned Amtrak high-speed rail routes) could run to Alton, Illinois, and Eureka or Pacific, Missouri. The use of existing high-speed rail infrastructure would mean costs could be limited to building stations, purchasing trains and operating the service.[1]

Proposed corridors

//Pacific Corridor">Pacific Corridor: This corridor could run from the Gateway Multimodal Transportation Center[2] in downtown St. Louis Southwest through St. Louis County along existing Union Pacific track through Maplewood, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Valley Park, Eureka or Pacific, Missouri along the Franklin County line.[3]
//Bismarck Corridor">Bismarck Corridor: This corridor could run from the Gateway Multimodal Transportation Center through Maplewood, Broadway, Jefferson Barracks, Oakville, Arnold, Kimmswick, Imperial, Festus, Hematite, De Soto, Blackwell, Mineral Point, Irondale, and Bismarck
//Alton Corridor">Alton Corridor: This corridor could also run from the Gateway Multimodal Transportation Center[2] through East St. Louis, Madison, Granite City, Wood River to Alton.[4]
