For in-person employees, the workday starts a while before they clock in. So we think it's only fair to make the commute part of their benefits package. 🔸 moveminneapolis.org/resource/156...

Not easy or possible for you to give up driving entirely? We get it. Still, there are other options to consider — you can mix and match.

Drive (or bike!) to your closest Park & Ride, then hop on transit for the rest of your commute. It’s an easy way to 🍁 leaf traffic behind.

Our Commute Ambassador, Ethan Weiche, has kicked off his Mini Project: a new video series that spotlights Commuters of Minneapolis and their unique experiences with sustainable transportation.

Episode one: Kayla. ✨ Kayla’s favorite stretch of the ride says it all.

Stay tuned for more stories! 🌆

My family’s electric cargo bike has replaced almost all of our local car trips (& allowed us to go from 2 to 1 car).

We still use our car when we need to go to the suburbs, but the bike (+ walking) works for 90% of our weekly trips.

Another great Try It Tour in the books! Thanks to Wells Fargo employees for joining us on a downtown walking tour — their second one with Move Minneapolis.

We explored the many easy and sustainable ways to get around the city.  Amazing to see teams discover how walkable #downtownMpls really is. 🚶🌇

Great Options With Transit - Move Minneapolis Transit connects people in our region. The Twin Cities’ award-winning transit system includes light rail (LRT), Northstar commuter rail, and a sturdy backbone of local and express buses, bus rapid…

🚆 Trains run at least every 15 minutes — frequency is one of the greatest LRT perks.
😌 No need to worry about gas or parking.
🎶 Use your ride time to read, catch up on podcasts, or just relax.

Even if it's a couple trips a week, that's already a huge step. moveminneapolis.org/resource/bus...

Picture it: you're on the way to work, you have your coffee, an audiobook or podcast ready to play — and someone else handles the drive. 🍂

Next up on ways to ✨ leaf traffic behind ✨ : light rail! The Twin Cities’ award-winning transit system wouldn't be what it is without light rail (LRT).

Registration is LIVE for our annual transportation summit! At this year's event, “Exploring AI in Shared Mobility”, we'll zoom in on — you guessed it — AI's current and future role in mobility. 🧐 Register: bit.ly/2025Transpor...
