Loop Trolley

The agency that oversees mass transit in the St. Louis region agreed to operate the trolley for at least 32 hours per week until 2028. The Loop Trolley Transportation Development District will cover the costs.

Under a newly revised agreement, Bi-State Development Agency is required to operate the trolley four days a week through June 2025 — but will not be financially responsible for the project.

Local leaders have warned that if federal money has to be repaid, it could make it harder for the St. Louis region to receive federal grants for future projects.

A proposal to accept an additional $1.2 million in federal funds to restart the trolley, and turn operation of the system over to the transit agency Metro, failed in October.

The East-West Gateway Council of Governments rejected a plan Wednesday to use $1.26 million in federal money to fund the 2.2-mile connection between the Delmar Loop and Missouri History Museum in Forest Park.
