Oh, welcome new followers! I'm a freelance journalist based in Minneapolis who is most passionate about covering transportation but also dabbles in criminal justice, business and the environment. Looking to hire? Here's my portfolio.

THREAD: With the extreme cold, I believe it's my duty as a transportation journalist to get this word out:
Metro Transit has activated their cold weather protocol. Riders will be allowed to ride regardless of available fare if they need a place to stay warm.

Friendly reminder to Lake St/Midtown Station security guards:
I can take photos of whatever I want, so long as I'm in the public area. You do not get to threaten me with pepper spray for doing so.

Can someone tell me if:
1) Mayor Frey has a disability, and
2) if not, is it a violation of ADA to block off an ADA parking spot for a government official?

One difference from past years is that they are not keeping transit stations open beyond posted hours, instead directing riders to county warming facilities. Metro Transit has advised against using its vehicles as shelter, as they aren't equipped
1
62
540
HOWEVER: if you or someone you know must shelter via transit, here are some tips to keep in mind.
1) DO NOT BOARD ANY BUS LEAVING 7TH/8TH AND NICOLLET AT 1:10AM OR THEREABOUTS. Their drivers may kick you off at the outer terminals.

For those wondering what to do with Uber and Lyft leaving Minneapolis, Uber leaving the 7-county Twin Cities:
You have options.

2) No agency in Minnesota operates 24-hour service. Metro Transit suspended 24-hour service at pandemic start, citing disproportionate biohazard instances. They have no plans to resurrect it.

Or if you're lucky, the driver may take you close to where their home garage is. Either way, there might not be a place nearby where you can go in and stay warm.

The closest one can ride an all-night bus is the following: Board the EB 3A departing Washington and Marquette at 1:30am. Get off at Cedar/5th at 2:15am. Walk to Union Depot. Board the WB 54 to MOA at 3am.

The City of Minneapolis is offering 1300 parking spots at the Walker, Basilica and Farmers Market lots combined ahead of this week's major storm. The Walker and Basilica Lots are accessible by Metro Transit Routes 4 and 6, while the Farmers Market is accessible by the 9.

126

The bus making the last 3A trip comes from Route 645, a limited stop route to Plymouth Road P&R in Minnetonka, that leaves Downtown Minneapolis just after 6pm. Board on Marquette Ave or 11th St.

3) If you have a phone and need arrival time predictions for Metro Transit, text 'mt' followed without spaces by the Stop ID located on the bottom left of the bus stop sign to 50934. It will return arrival time predictions for your bus.

The bus making the first 54 trip stays on the 54 until 9:53am, where it makes its last stop at MOA and pulls in.

If you do not have a phone and must access real-time transit predictions for certain routes, every BRT station has a screen that broadcasts them, as well as at 15th/Como, 15th/University, Franklin/13th and Nicollet/Franklin. Learn more about these signs:

You may also use the agency's website or the Transit app. You may also use the Transit app for MVTA arrival time predictions.

If cops would rather quit than respect the people they serve, maybe it’s okay to let them go.
