For in-person employees, the workday starts a while before they clock in. So we think it's only fair to make the commute part of their benefits package. 🔸 moveminneapolis.org/resource/156...

Not easy or possible for you to give up driving entirely? We get it. Still, there are other options to consider — you can mix and match.

My family’s electric cargo bike has replaced almost all of our local car trips (& allowed us to go from 2 to 1 car).

We still use our car when we need to go to the suburbs, but the bike (+ walking) works for 90% of our weekly trips.
