• • • The information presented in Table 6 -7 and Table 6 -8 is based on data in the 2005 document. They show the number and percentage of Lino Lakes residents projected to services- commute to work in the Minneapolis and St. Paul downtown areas in 2010, 2020 and 2030. The tables also include projections of the number and percentage of those commuters who will use transit. As evident by the tables below, the majority of the workforce utilizing the transit services is commuting into Minneapolis. The 2005 Park - And -Ride Plan is based on 2000 census data. More recent Metropolitan Council modeling using2008 park and ride usage data indicates that the number of transit users increased in recent years. This would mean that current transit use is higher than was previously projected and in turn, future demand likely will be higher as well.
