Taking the Transportation Benefits Show on the Road
Like Bob Dylan, the Move Minneapolis crew is perpetually on tour. Becky, Robert, Mary and John love an excuse to slide out of our office and meet with the people who make Minneapolis tick. We want to hear your stories. How does your staff get to work? What transportation benefits does your workplace offer? What works, what doesn’t in your daily commute?
Move Minneapolis brings the collective knowledge of our transportation partners to you.
Metropass
saves your company time and money using transit. The
ABC Ramps
offer carpool parking for $20 /month. A corporate
Nice Ride
or
HOURCAR
account provides a fleet of transportation options to your staff. Move Minneapolis fine tunes transportation that’s fast, fun, affordable and easy on the environment.
