ABOUT

Wisconsin Transit & Realty Group (WTRG) is developing a revolutionary high-speed transportation solution for Southeastern Wisconsin—a modern commuter rail system connecting Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee (KRM) with a SMART City development platform that will transform our region into a powerful economic force. The KRM rail line will also connect to Chicago.

OUR VISION

We're revitalizing the long-planned KRM commuter rail corridor with a unique public-private approach that bypasses previous political gridlock. Our project will:

• Connect communities along Lake Michigan to major job centers, educational institutions, and cultural attractions
• Create modern, hydrogen-powered commuter rail service with connections to Chicago
• Develop vibrant Transit-Oriented Districts (TODs) at 9 station locations for Phase 1; 27 total station locations for Phases 2 and 3
• Generate over $10 billion in economic growth across the region

A LEGACY PROJECT FOR WISCONSIN 

This project represents the last major transportation corridor to be developed in the United States. By combining state-of-the-art commuter rail with strategic real estate development, we're creating:

• New housing options near transit (3,000-5,000 units)
• Expanded job opportunities and workforce access
• Environmental benefits through reduced emissions
• Revitalized communities with walkable, vibrant hubs

EXPERT LEADERSHIP

Our management team brings over 180 years of combined experience in transportation, finance, real estate development, and government relations. We've assembled rail industry experts, federal funding specialists, and development professionals to deliver this transformative project.

FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP

The WTRG project was accepted into the Federal Transit Administration's Capital Investment Grant program, but due to COVID we had to withdraw. Now, with the federal government committed to providing 80% of the funding through grants and loans, WTRG can move forward with new private funding partners. This project is positioned to become a national P3 BOO (Build, Own, Operate) model for innovative transportation development.

JOIN OUR VISION 

Together, we can transform Southeastern Wisconsin into a more connected, prosperous, and sustainable region that attracts the brightest talent and creates opportunities for everyone.
