This is a place to collect, share, and request information and resources related to transit. In particular we should probably focus on rural transit issues that affect folks out in West-central Minnesota.
This top post is a wiki, which means essentially anyone can edit it. We should use it to be the “master list” of transit resources, and use the replies below as a way of asking questions, proposing changes, and the like. Feel free to edit this post directly – all the past versions are saved, so we can always fix things if you “break” something.

Information about transit in Minnesota
- “Rural Reality: City transit, rural transit”: A valuable report from 2016 by the Center for Rural Policy and Development on the state of rural transit in Minnesota.
- “Tools for riders, transit providers, and more” contains a variety of useful links, including (indirectly) a map of statewide transit services which highlights how chopped up the state is when viewed from a transit perspective.
