Program areas at Move Minnesota
Advocacy:from city hall to the state capitol, we've spent decades protecting millions of dollars in funding for walking, bicycling, and transit, and fought for new policies and infrastructure in communities where they're needed. As bold, effective advocates, Move Minnesota is building an active grassroots base, finding common ground in shared values, and rallying people around the radical idea that it's good to have options. We help our fellow minnesotans tell the stories of how Transportation influences their lives and the future of region. Together, our voices are a powerful challenge to the status quo.
Education:at Move Minnesota, we love inspiring more people to ride transit, bike, walk, car-share, and ride-share. We know that sharing knowledge and providing opportunities for people to experience Transportation options firsthand is key to changing hearts, minds, and habits. Our educational programming connects commuters and employers with sustainable options for getting around, and partners with colleges and universities to improve commuting options for students and faculty.
Community engagement:move Minnesota is dedicated to on-the-ground organizing in the twin cities metro area. We aim to speak with, not for, community - and to elevate voices that wouldn't otherwise be heard. For us, that means engaging communities who have been historically left out of Transportation planning - including youth, women, people with low incomes, communities of color, people with disabilities, and other minnesotans who depend on Transportation options every day. Across all backgrounds, walking, bicycling, and using transit are incredible ways for us to connect with each other, be present in our community, and expand our relationships. Whether it's a local listening session about walking, hosting a bicycle ride, or getting residents involved in the region's next big transit project, we know we can do more when we're authentically connected.
