Ride with Metro Transit For $1 with The Transit Assistance Program

By

Metro Transit’s Transit Assistance Program helps make public transit more affordable for people with lower incomes. The program provides a yearlong reduced fare pass on a Go-To Card. Customers can use a bus or train for just $1 per ride – even during rush hour – with a two-and-a-half-hour transfer.

Sign Up:

  1. Apply or renew online or at an in-person location.
  2. Show an identity document with your name and address and an accepted document (see details on the Metro Transit website) to show that you meet the income guidelines.
  3. Once approved, you’ll get the discount pass added to a new Go-To Card or your existing card – then just add value and go.

Watch a video about how to apply and find more information on the Metro Transit website.

Thank you to the Kingfield and Lyndale History Hounds!

By

Thank you to the dozen volunteers who have been sorting paper and scouring old news stories about our neighborhoods these past two months.  These History Hounds are helping to clear out the file cabinets, so that both Lyndale and Kingfield’s historic documents can be included in the the collection that the Hennepin Library Archivists are putting together. When completed, this collection will show the breadth and value of neighborhood actions and activities and how it has shaped Minneapolis over the last 30 years.

Our History Hounds are a talented bunch, but many also have a history of their own in archival documentation, or they are simply self-proclaimed trivia-history nerds!

Want to get involved? There is more room at the table (or more correctly, in the basement file-room) for a few more History Hounds. Just contact Nicole at to set a time to come dig through a box of papers!
