Transportation

A financially sustainable, world-class transportation system is vital for a thriving Twin Cities regional economy.

The Met Council is responsible for ensuring that transportation infrastructure equitably meets the demands of our residents as the region grows, and plays two central roles in regional transportation:

• As the region's federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Met Council works with local, state, and federal policymakers to plan for and anticipate the transportation needs of our growing region.
• As the region's primary regional transit services provider, the Met Council works with partners to build and operate a 21st century bus and rail system. Customers rely on our transportation services to meet their daily transportation needs.

The Transportation Committee addresses transportation and aviation policy and planning, transit operations, Metro Mobility, and ride-sharing programs.
