Community Engagement

Do you have a question about a transit project or want to know how you can get involved in decision-making, or want to contact the Metro Transit outreach coordinator who serves your community? We’ve pulled together resources to get you started.

Building relationships

As part of Metro Transit's Community Affairs department, Community Outreach Coordinators support a wide variety of Metro Transit projects. Outreach Coordinators can :

• Connect you to transit resources

• Engage residents and businesses on transit improvement projects such as Network Now, METRO B Line, E Line, F Line, METRO Green Line Extension or the METRO Blue Line Extension

• Keep people informed about the status of projects, especially construction activities. Attend community meetings for two-way conversations about transit services and projects

• Build partnerships with local organizations and groups in communities we serve

• Prepare people on how to ride transit, pay their fares or use our information tools

Metro Transit Outreach

Light Rail Extension Outreach

For our transportation system to work for everyone, it needs to connect people to the places they want to go. Light rail connects people to jobs to support their families, schools to get a solid education, doctor's appointments to stay healthy.

Cooperation and collaboration with countless supporters and partners have shaped and given life to the vision of a better-connected region. We're building lines that are sound, built from the ground up.

METRO Green Line Extension

This extension of the METRO Green Line will serve downtown Minneapolis and the communities of St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Eden Prairie. The 14.5-mile route will include 16 new stations.

METRO Blue Line Extension

This project will extend the existing Blue Line from Target Field Station northwest to Brooklyn Park and connect communities along the way.
