Dear Neighbors,

The Metropolitan Council recently launched a new Metro micro transit service that is available in parts of Blaine, Coon Rapids, and Spring Lake Park. Metro micro is a point-to-point, shared-ride transit service that uses ADA-accessible minibuses and helps connect riders to shopping, medical appointments, workplaces, entertainment, and more.

This is so important. Minnesotans deserve a transportation system that is safe, reliable, and equitable. At a time when the federal government is intent on slashing critical programs that support working families in Minnesota, we know how essential it is to invest in roads and transit to ensure fair and accessible transportation options across the entire state.

Here are a few highlights of this service:

Rides can be booked via smartphone app or by calling. You select your start and destination within the service zone.
$2 per fare
ADA accessible
Service operates weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and weekends from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.

You’re invited to join me and other legislators for an outreach event on Tuesday, November 5, from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Northtown Transit Center located at the Northtown Mall in Blaine to learn more about the new Metro micro service and how we can continue improving transit options across the North Metro. We will be joined by folks from the Metropolitan Council to explain the service and answer questions about the phone app, reduced-fare eligibility, and more! This event is open to the public.

We hope to see you on November 5!

Keep in Touch

Sincerely,
