Take Action: Tell Your State Lawmakers to Protect Transit Funding!

Thanks to advocates and supporters like you, Move Minnesota Action and our allies have been able to successfully secure hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for transit, bicycling, walking, and rolling. Now, these critical funds are at risk–and we need your help to protect them.

Our historic funding and policy victories over the past two years are essential for improving and expanding public transit, cutting climate pollution, and improving daily life in Minnesota. Because of our big wins, we’re already seeing significant improvements in service–and opposition from lawmakers who don’t think we deserve public transit that works for everyone. 

Take action today to defend these historic and essential investments in public transit! 

The dedicated transit funding we secured just two years ago has the power to finally transform transit service in Minnesota after more than a decade of underinvestment, bringing our communities convenient local bus service, new bus rapid transit lines, and exciting new connections like Northern Lights Express passenger rail.

But as Minnesota’s 2025 legislative session gets underway, state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are actively attempting to claw back these wins with unacceptable anti-transit proposals that would slash transit funding, block new transit projects, and dilute the metro-area transit sales tax we fought so hard for. 

Push back with the quick action below. In a normal year, cutting transit funding in Minnesota would be a bad idea. In 2025, rapidly evolving threats to federal funding are raising the stakes and making action at the state and local level more important than ever. 

Tell your Minnesota lawmakers to protect the transit funding we need to create a transportation system that works for everyone!
