Our Work
Together, we’re building a movement to demand transportation that protects our climate, our families, and our futures.
Transportation impacts every one of us, every day. Each and every Minnesotan, in every region of the state, of every income level, every race and ethnic background, every age and ability.
Transit, biking, and walking are some of the most powerful tools we have to make our communities accessible, to improve our individual and collective health, and to connect us to the places and people that allow us to live our best lives. That’s why we’re fighting to make transit, biking, and walking the easiest and best ways to get around in the Twin Cities and across the state. Change starts now—for all of us.
Our Current Initiatives
We’re building coalitions, engaging communities, organizing with
advocates, and more.

-
Transit Advocates Secure Nation-Leading Wins at the State Capitol
Move Minnesota and allies are celebrating historic transit funding and policy wins at the State Capitol after years of persistent advocacy! This is the transformative victory we’ve been working toward to protect our climate, connect our communities, and improve our daily lives.
-
Hennepin Ave South Layout Passes Committee
Move Minnesota and allies pushed hard to put people first on Hennepin Ave South in Minneapolis and overcame a mayoral veto to secure big improvements for busing, biking, walking, and rolling. Through the fight for one local street, we grew both community and elected support for more bus lanes across the metro.
-
Transit Win: The D Line and B Line Are Fully Funded!
Minnesota’s House and Senate have voted to fully fund the METRO D Line and METRO B Line! These new bus rapid transit routes have been major advocacy priorities for Move Minnesota because they have big potential to improve the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Twin Cities every day.
Our current transportation system prioritizes cars above all else. The price we pay is the safety of our families, the health of our climate, and the stability of our future. People in communities of color and low-wealth communities are not being heard or getting the resources they need. Together, we can change that.
