Additional transit programs

Transit Link

This program is an initiative of the Metropolitan Council. The service area includes all communities within Hennepin County. However, to ensure Transit link service does not duplicate regular route service, each trip request will be evaluated for eligibility. To be eligible for Transit Link, the trip must not be possible by regular route transit.

Metro Mobility

The Metropolitan Council operates the Metro Mobility program, which is a bus service available to persons with disabilities. You must first be registered with Metro Mobility before you are eligible to use the service. The registration process includes a medical doctor's certification of the disability.

There are no restrictions on the trip's purpose or destination within the service area and service times. The service area and service times do vary throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The service cannot be used for emergency medical purposes.
