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.

Driving Change: Move Minnesota Policy Leadership Ushers in a New Era of Nation-Leading Climate Action in MN

More than 100 Rally for Bus and Bike Lanes on Lyndale!
Connecting with our neighbors, dancing to joyful music, and waving brightly colored signs, nearly 100 community members rallied in the median at 27th and Lyndale on Saturday afternoon. Mobilized by Move Minnesota staff and volunteers, the energized, intergenerational, multi-modal crowd garnered friendly honks of support from drivers and shared information with passing pedestrians about the once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a Livable Lyndale that’s safe and inviting for everyone.

Early Results Show Metro Transit Free Fare Pilot Benefits Riders and Boosts Ridership
Metro Transit is currently piloting free fares on Routes 62 and 32 in the Twin Cities. Early data and our conversations with bus riders and community members show the pilot is making a positive impact. Required by the groundbreaking transportation legislation Move Minnesota Action secured in 2023, the new pilot is part of an ongoing, nationwide conversation about the cost of living, the role of fares, and the future of public transit.
-
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.
Recent Projects
Our recent work with policy makers, students, and local residents has changed our communities for the better.
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.
