An important focus of the Streetcar project has been to enhance existing and proposed transit in Milwaukee. Connecting to the Milwaukee Intermodal Station on St. Paul Avenue has been an important component of this focus. The station currently serves approximately 1.4 million existing annual users with service provided by AMTRAK, regional bus service and Milwaukee County Transit. The enhanced Milwaukee to Chicago rail service and proposed new High Speed Rail service between Milwaukee and Madison (operational in 2013) will further increase activity at the Intermodal Station. The proposed Kenosha-Racine-Milwaukee commuter rail service will introduce additional users as well. The Intermodal Station's current capacity could more than triple over the next decade to more than 3 million users. The preferred Streetcar route will connect these additional transit users to downtown and nearby destinations, hotels, jobs, attractions, homes and businesses.
