Coalition Letter on Proposed $32 Million Cut to Bus Transit, Walking, Biking

Coalition of 16 organizations who advocated for the historic 2023 Transportation Bill

On January 16, Governor Walz proposed cutting transit, walking and biking by $32 million annually.  This proposal would drastically undermine the promised expansion of bus service and Bus Rapid Transit throughout the metro area which was a centerpiece of the historic 2023 Transportation Bill. We call on the Minnesota Legislature to defend its 2023 victory and reject the Governor’s proposed roll back of the critical investments in public transit needed for equity and climate.
