Free and Secure — Bike Parking at Ramp B
Kick off Bike Month by giving bike commuting a try! Downtown has a growing network of on-street and protected bike lanes that provide safe routes to most workplaces — and when it comes to parking, head to Ramp B for a secure (and free!) solution.
The Bike and Ride facility (managed by Metro Transit) at ABC Ramps Mobility Hub, allows you to park your bike in an enclosed structure with controlled access with a pre-registered GoTo card. 📍 Enter Ramp B via the Target Plaza access doors (next to the Kirby Puckett statue) located between Target Center and Target Field.
💡 How to Bike & Ride at Ramp B: Register your GoTo card online → Tap your card to enter → Secure the bike with your lock → Done!

How do your employees come to work?
A stressful commute can impact job performance, health and wellness, and job retention. Your employee's commute to work sets the tone for their day — and when employers understand how their teams get to work, they can spot commuting barriers, reduce stress, and offer real solutions for a smooth journey to work.
| | | |
That's where we come in!
Move Minneapolis, in coordination with employers, conducts commuter surveys that reveal what's working, where the main challenges lie, and how to improve your team's experience with transportation. Our free, customized surveys can identify barriers, find opportunities, and inform transportation benefits, right here in Minneapolis.

This growing library of local resources taps into ways to make commuting faster, easier, and more sustainable.
