The METRO Gold Line is an under construction bus rapid transit line in Minnesota. The line will travel from downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota to the eastern terminus in Woodbury, Minnesota. The 10-mile line runs largely along I-94 in bus-only lanes with stops at designated stations. The Gold Line will be the first bus rapid transit project in Minnesota that operates primarily in bus lanes. The project was initially called the Gateway Corridor before being named a color to match the rest of the Metro system operated by Metro Transit.

Vehicles on the route will be a mix of diesel and electric buses. Buses will arrive approximately every 10-15 minutes. Four park-and-rides are being constructed at stations along the route.^[4] Construction on the line began in 2022. The project is expected to open on March 22, 2025.
