When You’re Downtown

Who are those friendly folks in the neon shirts and blue jackets? The Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District (DID) Ambassadors are the friendly faces of downtown: people who are approachable and welcoming. DID Ambassadors stroll the streets and skyways on the lookout for how they can help. They help with directions, help keep the streets and sidewalks clean, and are the direct connection to public safety. The Ambassadors are on hand to keep an eye out for you and your surroundings.
Safety While Using Transit
Metro Transit’s Safety and Security Action Plan committed to providing a consistently safe, clean, and welcoming experience on our system. Metro Transit Community Service Officers (CSO) ride transit educating customers about the Code of Conduct, inspecting fares and issuing administrative citations, and assisting customers on the system. In addition, over 70 Transit Rider Investment Program (TRIP) Agents check fares, assist riders, and uphold the rules for riding; they can also provide first aid, and provide information about social services.
Check out our webinar to learn more about Metro Transit’s efforts to improve the rider experience by expanding the official presence on transit through efforts like the Transit Rider Investment Program:
