Bi-State Development Agency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bi-State Development Agency is the formal name of an interstate compact formed by Missouri and Illinois in 1949. Since February 2003 the agency is doing business as Metro.
Metro owns and operates the St. Louis Metropolitan region's public transportation system, which includes MetroLink, the region's light rail system; MetroBus, the region's bus system; and Metro Call-A-Ride, the paratransit van system.
In addition, Metro also owns or operates St. Louis Downtown Airport (formerly Parks) and the adjoining industrial business park, paddlewheel-style river excursion boats, the tram system leading to the top of the Gateway Arch, and the Arch's parking garage.
