community, the city proposed to MTC that it would drop its request to withdraw from the MTC system and take with it all of the allowed property taxes currently dedicated to MTC. The city council approved plans to request withdrawing from MTC and work with
Medicine Lake Lines to serve the city with feeder vans that took riders to a central location before boarding buses to Minneapolis in December 1982. The official application to opt-out was submitted in January 1983. In addition to the 25-passenger feeder bus vans, reverse commute service was proposed. An estimated 15 percent of existing riders to Plymouth were reverse commuters coming from Minneapolis and nearby suburbs. A midday day feeder van would circulate through the city between peak periods. The pulse meeting point was

Plymouth's system would cost more per rider which was not allowed under the state law granting cities the option to opt out of their system. While MTC interpreted the state law to only allow Plymouth to divert property taxes required to fund their own transit system and the remaining money would stay with the MTC, Plymouth's interpretation allowed the city to contribute only 10% of the previously collected funds for MTC and keep 90% of property tax revenue for refunds to Plymouth residents or other transportation projects.

Minnesota voters. A sales tax of 6.5 percent is levied on motor vehicle sales in Minnesota. Funding for transit is guaranteed 40 percent of MVST revenue with 36 percent dedicated to Twin Cities metropolitan area transit. Plymouth receives a percentage of those funds defined by a relationship related to property values in 2006 and 2001.

state law passed in 1981 allowed cities to "opt out" of contributing funds to the MTC provided they met two criteria. The cities could not have any service or only have routes that terminate in the community, and the community must have fewer than four trips during the off peak hours. Plymouth began investigating opting out in 1982 and considered partnering with the city of Maple Grove to provide transit service. While city staff hoped that the new legislation could improve bus service for the city, they were concerned about staff time needed to administer a separate bus program.
