There is one final opportunity this summer for you to try transit with our transit consultants as your expert guides.

Please note that this summer’s final transit event has been modified slightly from the quick errand run to a lunch outing in downtown Minneapolis. Details are below:

UPDATED: Lunch from the best food trucks in town! – August 6th from 11:30 – 1:30 pm

Looking for a unique lunch experience? Join us as we walk to the Blue Line light rail from campus and take it downtown to the Nicollet Mall. From there we will walk to both Marquette and 2nd Ave where we will choose from a variety of food truck options. After lunch we will head back together. Throughout the trip we will offer transit tips and tricks while answering any questions participants have. Move Minnesota will provide free transit passes but participants will have to cover their lunch expenses. Travel time is about 20 minutes each way.
