Grow Your Programs!
The Downtown Minneapolis TMO provides free materials and services to help employers grow their transit programs, vanpool participation, and walking and biking initiatives. Let us help you grow your programs!
New Employee Commuter Kit
Help new hires make the smartest commuting choice available to them by including our Commuter Resource List in your new hire packets. We've found that people are more receptive to trying new commuting options when they first start a job, before they've gotten into the habit of driving alone. Providing this information shows new employees that you care about saving them time and money and allows you to promote your transit benefits and wellness programs.
Republican National Convention / CivicFest
From August 29-September 4, 2008 the spotlight will shine on
For your convenience, we have compiled a list of alternative commuting strategies to consider. Once you have a plan in place, the TMO can help get your message out by providing free regional commuter resources and conducting on-site commuter fairs.

Commuter Fairs
If you have open enrollment benefit fairs, wellness fairs, or environmental fairs, we'll be happy to staff a table to help promote and grow your programs. We can help people learn about their local transit options, encourage wellness activities by providing free skyway walking maps and Hennepin County bike maps, and showcase the green benefits of your discount transit pass, vanpool, biking, telework and walking programs.
Contact us - we're happy to help!
