About Metro Transit

Students from Washburn High School board a Metro Transit bus.

Metro Transit is a leading transportation resource for the Twin Cities, offering an integrated network of buses, light rail and commuter trains, microtransit, as well as resources for those who carpool, vanpool, walk or bike. In 2023, we provided nearly 45 million rides across the Twin Cities region. 

We are guided by a Strategic Framework, Metro Transit Forward, that describes our vision and mission, strategic priorities, and the ways we’ll measure our success moving forward. Metro Transit Forward combines and builds upon efforts like the Safety & Security Action PlanNetwork Now, and the buildout of our METRO network.   

Metro Transit is an operating division of the Metropolitan Council, the regional policy-making body, planning agency, and provider of essential services in the seven-county Twin Cities metro area.
