Transportation
Transportation is a means of gaining access to the goods and services. Access can be provided by trains, planes, buses, bicycles, private automobiles, taxi cabs, or just by walking. The most environmentally-friendly forms of transportation are walking and bicycling. Unfortunately, government spends little on these two forms of transportation in comparison with what it spends on roads and parking. Many of our new communities aren't even built with sidewalks today!
Save More than the Price of Gas | Metro Transit Can Help You Go Greener
An average Twin Cities commuter contributes about 2.6 tons of greenhouse gas emissions by driving alone to work. Multiply that volume of pollution times the number of people driving alone each day and it adds up to a serious impact.
Commit to Not Driving Just One Day a Week
All Metro Transit buses and trains are equipped with bike racks, helping to expand your trip options. Racks on buses accommodate up to two bikes at a time. Each Hiawatha light-rail train car can hold four bikes. There is no additional charge for using bike racks. Those who combine biking and transit know how convenient bike racks make traveling around the Twin Cities. Metro Transit makes it easy to pedal for part of the way to your destination and ride the rest.
