Webinar: Ask Us Anything: Riding Downtown on Transit
This upcoming webinar is in preparation for Car-Free MSP 2025. Now in its tenth year, Car-Free MSP is an annual campaign that builds awareness on replacing drive-alone trips with sustainable choices (biking, carpooling, shared mobility, and transit) during the month of September.
This interactive webinar is a primer on using transit, offers help to overcome barriers, and explores what’s on the horizon. We’ll try something different: you will steer the conversation in real-time!
Through live polling, you’ll shape an interactive discussion and Move Minneapolis staff will be prepared to discuss your questions around the topics of “how to”, safety, and what’s coming next.

Whether you are a seasoned rider or stepping on to a bus for the first time, this webinar will help you get the most out of public transportation, inform you about new options, and share everything you need to navigate the Twin Cities with confidence. Recent improvements make transit easier to use, safer, and more accessible than ever. This includes more bus rapid transit routes, a new fare system, and microtransit expansions that provides more riders with better options.
