Move Minneapolis

12/19/2025

Since 1992, our organization has worked alongside our community to expand knowledge of transportation choices, support more sustainable commuting, and help shape how people move through downtown Minneapolis and beyond.

This graphic captures just a few highlights from that work over the last 10 years. We’re proud of what’s been accomplished and thankful to everyone who helped make it happen. 💚

For all walkers and bike riders ❗️ Did you know there’s a tool that lets you check whether your Mpls route is plowed (or snowy, if that’s your thing) before you head out?

The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board’s Snow Event Requester is a super handy tool that lets you:

❄️ Check trail plowing status during snow events (2"+ snowfall)
❄️ View real-time conditions across 138 miles of MPRB trails
❄️ Submit requests if something needs attention
❄️ Check on open/closed requests and overall response time

So if you enjoy walking or biking in the winter season, this is a must-save.

Dec. 6 was a big day for transit in Minneapolis. 🎆

The METRO E Line officially launched! It's always fantastic to welcome new transit service, and even more so when it brings faster trips and more frequent service along the corridor.

Congratulations to the Metro Transit team and partners — and thank you to Minneapolis College for sponsoring free E Line rides on opening day!

Work in the service industry often means late nights and weekend shifts. Commuting at night or when public transit runs on a reduced schedule is not everyone's cup of tea. In comes carpooling! 🚘

ABC Ramps Mobility Hub offers discounted carpool options and 24/7 access, so you and your team can share a stress-free ride to and from your evening or weekend shifts.

Watch our short video for a rundown on how carpooling works.

We have very difficult news to share: Move Minneapolis will sunset as an organization at the end of 2025.

We’re deeply grateful for the strong community of partners, advocates, and commuters who have supported this work for more than three decades. As Move Minneapolis winds down, we know this meaningful work will continue through the incredible organizations we’ve partnered with over the years, such as Metro Transit, Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN), Move Minnesota, Streets.mn, City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County and so many others committed to sustainable transportation in Minneapolis.

🎥 Commuters of Minneapolis Episode 2: Solomon. ✨

Fittingly, Minneapolis saw its first big snowfall soon after this video was captured. And it's safe to say Solomon was ready for it! ❄️

Thank you to Ethan Weiche and his friend Evan Rasmussen for the newest episode!

It's back! Nationally we are at record levels of traffic congestion. The average American is spending 63 hours per year stuck in traffic. Is that really how you want to spend nearly three days of the next year? There are better and healthier options.

If it seems like traffic is getting worse where you live, that's because it probably is. After dropping during the COVID-19 pandemic, congestion climbed to record levels in 2024, researchers say.

Have you seen the forecast? 🥶 Looks like it's time to ramp up our winter commuting tips…

When the temps dip to +10°F (or lower), public transportation becomes one of the safest, steadiest ways to get around.

One of our favorite resources on this comes from Anoka County Commute Solutions. Their webinar, Riding in a Winter Transit Wonderland, is a goldmine of practical advice for navigating your commute during a true Minnesotan winter — which is starting to show its true colors.

In the webinar, you’ll learn:

🔹 What to expect on winter transit
🔹 How typical delays compare to driving delays in bad weather
🔹 Tips to stay flexible, warm, and safe on your trip
