==Infrastructure== ===Transportation=== ====Roads==== Most Sioux Falls residents travel and commute by car. [[Interstate 90 in South Dakota|Interstate 90]] passes east to west across the northern edge of the city, while [[Interstate 29 in South Dakota|Interstate 29]] bisects the western portion of the city from the north and south. [[Interstate 229 (South Dakota)|Interstate 229]] forms a partial loop around Sioux Falls, and connects with I-90 to the northeast and I-29 to the southwest. A [[Grid plan|grid design system]] for city streets is the standard for the central (older) area of the city; secondary streets in newer residential areas have largely abandoned this plan. Due to current and expected regional growth, several large construction projects have been or will be undertaken. New interchanges have recently been added to I-29. An interchange was also completed on I-90 at Marion Road. I-29 has recently been improved from I-90 to 57th Street. This upgrade includes additional lanes and auxiliary lanes. Over the next decade, the city of Sioux Falls and the South Dakota Department of Transportation plan to construct a [[limited-access highway]] around the city's outer edges to the south and east, known as [[South Dakota Highway 100]].<ref>{{cite web | title = South Dakota 100 Corridor Preservation Project | publisher = South Dakota Department of Transportation | access-date = May 10, 2010 | url = http://www.sddot.com/sd100/index.asp}}</ref> This highway will start at the northern Tea exit (Exit 73 on I-29, 101st Street), run east on 101st Street, curve northeast east of Western Avenue, then turn north near Sycamore Avenue. It will end at the Timberline Avenue exit (Exit 402 on I-90). Sioux Falls' major roads include W 41st, Minnesota, Main, W 26th (which becomes Louise as it turns south), 12th, 49th, 57th, and Western. ====Public/mass transit==== [[File:Bus Stop Downtown Sioux Falls 1.jpg|thumb|Main downtown bus terminal]] [[Sioux Area Metro]], the local public transit organization, operates 16 bus lines within the city, with most routes operating Monday through Saturday.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sioux Falls Transit First to Deploy RouteMatch Software's Fixed Route CAD/AVL Solution |work=Market Wire |date=August 2007 |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_/ai_n19466093 |access-date=October 16, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701191951/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_/ai_n19466093 |archive-date=July 1, 2014 }}</ref> Recently, the city added a new transfer station in Sioux Falls on Louise Avenue between 49th and 57th Streets. The Sioux Area Metro Paratransit serves members of the community who would otherwise not be able to travel by providing door-to-door service. Public transportation is supplemented with the SAM On Demand service that offers [[microtransit]] options.<ref>{{cite web | last=Seamer | first=Cooper | title=SAM On Demand launches full city service for weekdays | website=www.dakotanewsnow.com | date=August 12, 2024 | url=https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2024/08/12/sam-demand-launches-full-city-service-weekdays/ | access-date=October 11, 2024}}</ref> [[Jefferson Lines]] runs long-distance bus routes to the [[Sioux Falls Bus Station]]. Non-transfer destinations include [[Fargo, North Dakota|Grand Forks]], [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]], [[Minneapolis]], and [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]]. Until 1965 a branch of the [[Milwaukee Road]] train from Chicago, the ''[[Arrow (Milwaukee Road train)|Arrow]],'' made a stop in Sioux Falls.<ref>Jim Cribbins, ''The Milwaukee Road Remembered,'' 1990, pp. 61β66</ref> ====Air==== Many domestic airlines serve [[Sioux Falls Regional Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sioux-falls-airport.com/ |title=Sioux Falls Regional Airport β Home |website=Sfairport.com |access-date=March 18, 2017}}</ref> ====Rail==== The [[BNSF Railway]] provides freight rail service. Amtrak does not directly serve any community in South Dakota.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-12-28 |title=Amtrak Stations in South Dakota |url=https://amtrakguide.com/stations/amtrak-stations-in-south-dakota/ |access-date=2024-07-15 |website=Amtrak Guide |language=en}}</ref> The closest station is in Omaha, nearly 200 miles away.
