Transportation Fair

Group: Parking & Transportation Services

From the group:

Transportation Fair gathered students, staff, and faculty on the Minneapolis campus at Coffman Memorial Union to ask questions and pick up promotional items and information. The Transportation Fair is a key component in our strategy to encourage students to avoid driving and make use of alternative modes of transportation, especially mass transit. Many community transportation partners participated in this event. Metro Transit, Minnesota Valley Transit Authority, Southwest Transit, HOURCAR, Spin Scooters and the University's Commuter Connection and Office of Sustainability were just a few of the attending vendors.
